A very special blog post today showing the artwork of student Michael Ilsley. Michael is studying our Coloured Pencil Drawing Course and has created two absolutely stunning drawings. The first is a view from his window and the second is an old oak tree. What we love about them is that Michael is striving to achieve realism in his work and he has allowed us to see the photos that he worked from for the drawings. We have to say his attention to detail, particularly in the view from a window is exceptional. Absolutely stunning. There are so many different angles of roofs, windows and tiles that Michael could have easily got confused with when drawing all of them, however they are exact. Excellent observational drawing!
