Welcome to our weekend challenge set last weekend on the theme of Pandas. We have received a phenomenal amount of Panda artwork! Each and everyone one being beautifully creative and we can see that our students really embraced the theme this week.
A big shout out to all of our new students and members to our facebook group who have just started this week with the challenges. We also want to mention a young artist called Vlad, Carmen’s son, who created the beautiful drawing below of a panda below. Vlad is Aged 12 and we feel he has created a very advanced drawing for his age and can’t wait to see his next one!
We also wanted to mention the artwork by Dylan F Jeskye. This will be our first lino cut on one of our challenges. Excellent work Dylan!!
We hope that all of our students enjoyed this weeks challenge – well dpoen to everyone! We also hope that you gain lots of inspiration from reading and viewing the artwork below.
Stay tuned for a new challenge tomorrow!
My son’s contribution to this week’s challenge, he does the Children drawing 1. Carmen and son VladI haven’t done an art challenge for a while. But since I have been experimenting with lino cutting, I thought that would lend itself beautifully for this week’s subject. So here’s my contribution. Dylan F JeskyeHello from my panda! This task is actually quite a funny coincidence as I have just started learning Chinese:) Many years ago I lived in Beijing, and now I have finally found time to learn the language! Better late than never! And yes, in China they treat pandas like their country’s mascot.”Ni hao!” Panda, pigment ballpen on black paper. Mila ZinzenThis is my first submission as I have only just enrolled on the Pet Portrait Course. Panda’s are such beautiful animals so I thought I would have a go! Angela BurtI had a lot of fun with this little panda. The technique (cutter and black paper) made me feel as if I were doing some lace work or or some glass cutting for a Tiffany artwork. Vera JaouadiRachel Shelly“I’m soooooo tried!!” RenateIndeed, the cutest animal on the earth… Rose-MarieIt is made in mixed media. KatjaMy quick sketch for this weeks Challenge.

The branches & leaves I did separately and used different shades of appropriate colours for them. Nina PhillipsWeekend Panda…… I looked it up, they do eat for up to 14hrs a day!
