Welcome to our weekend challenge all about Marine Life. WOW! What an amazing array of paintings and drawings we have received from our students this week. We are stunned by the quality of every single piece. They are all so varied, each and every one completely different from the next.
A special shoutout to Barbara Schunk who combined paint brushes with marine life – a very ingenious idea. Also the feature painting this week by student Kirsi Salo.
We hope that you enjoy viewing all of the work below. If you missed out on this challenge, do give it a go. This is what student Rose-Marie said to us this week in an email and we were absolutely thrilled to hear it…….
….”I love the weekend challenges. Every Friday is a lucky day which allows to be creative! And LAC such a good art academy. Thank you!”
Stay tuned for tomorrows challenge!!

Here’s my entry for this weekend challenge, marine life! Well… we don’t really know who is hiding under the sea, do we? Linda G. CarluschiWeekend art challenge…A few beachcomber finds. Anthea PostIn this weekend challenge I choose jellyfish as the theme of my drawing. The Jellyfish is moving is slight and gently, just like the pace of time and light. So I combined these three things together. I draw it by ball-point pen and color pen. HuzetteIt’s out, folks. ‘Marine Life: The Collage’, a frothy Fantasy which looked good on paper… but its cast clearly isn’t cut out for an Epic. Julie SmalleyI’ve used watercolour pencils for my drawing of a seahorse in it’s surroundings. Nina PhillipsShelia BrownPerfectly for the weekend challenge I have been working on this painting of the Kraken.Weekend challenge – Marine life. Used one of the reference photos.

Latha Bhaduri PrabakarStarfish using acrylic and pallete knife Kirstie BakerAstrid NielschWatercolor and colored pencils Chelsi NicoleAudrey QuintonSeahorse in watercolour pencil. Shamina ChowdhuryMy marine challenge – “Curious Fish Exploring The Reef”. This is the first time I partially drew and entirely coloured a big tropical fish using the Wacom tablet and Intuos pen. It was quite challenging because the surface of the tablet is slippery. I made several mistakes. So I had to re-draw parts of fish’s contour and recolour its coloured parts several times. I still need to figure out how to digitally draw and paint reef more realistically. Spring DawnMy take on marine life weekend challenge 😊. Acrylic on canvas 50 x 70cm. Had so much fun with this, my partner calls is the fish sopranos. Kirsi Salo
