Welcome to our Wild Birds Weekend Art Challenge results, and what a flock of fabulous entries has landed in our inbox this week! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our students took to the skies with this one, bringing us birds from every corner of the globe, from the cheerful house sparrow pecking about in a British garden to the exotic Walden’s hornbill, the kookaburra, and a brilliantly colourful Eastern Rosella. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The variety of mediums on show was equally impressive, with watercolour, pen and ink, soft pastels, acrylics, coloured pencil, and charcoal all making an appearance. We are absolutely delighted to share their work with you here and well done to all of our students who took part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned for another challenge tomorrow! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the male and female house sparrows for this week\u2019s challenge. They are cheeky little birds to watch, but are often over looked.
These are both painted using ink pen and watercolour

I know a puffin isn\u2019t a garden bird, but I\u2019m hoping that this can be an exception as I\u2019m currently on holiday by the sea\u00a0
It\u2019s painted on an abstract background using pencil, watercolour and acrylic.

On the left is a Walden\u2019s hornbill. I used children\u2019s an acrylic paint. It was outlined with a black acrylic pen. On the right is a kookaburra (used a soft toy version to draw from) Children\u2019s and acrylic paints used. Again it\u2019s been outlined with a black acrylic pen.

Eastern Rosella – created with acrylic paints on a card. Reference: NewZealand Birds Book. These birds are believed to be escaped from cage at some point or emigrated from Australia because most New Zealand Birds are not brilliantly colourful.
