Welcome to the results of our latest weekend art challenge. We set our students this week, the task of creating artwork around the theme of Strawberries. Our students have had a wonderful time in creating and probably eating, plenty of strawberries this week!
Our featured image above is by student Thakur Balbeer Singh who created a beautiful watercolour painting of strawberries with some added coloured pencil too. Excellent job Thakur!
We have some stunning paintings and drawings to show below, we even have some wonderful photography by student Dora Birgis and we love the theme of Wimbledon by Pauline Burke and Elena Statham, all images superb!!
We hope you enjoy viewing the wonderful collection of artwork by our very talented students. We have another excellent challenge for you coming first thing tomorrow. So stay tuned all!
Weekend Art Challenge Strawberries Dora Birgis Strawberries remind me of Wimbledon so I have a tennis theme for my attempt this week! A lovely challenge to do with such a summery fruit ! Pauline BurkeWeekend challenge : strawberries, I thought using a theme of Wimbledon for background would be nostalgic and appropriate, two best things of a British summer! Elena StathamFancied a change so tried ‘oil pastels’ found them terrifying to use at first – no control! But found it really enjoyable in the end and like my finished piece. Melissa De-Vall Maria Ei ZarCéciliaThis is how I like mine and yes they tasted yummy. 6×6 inches pastel pencils Sheelagh DoranThis is a story of one glass of strawberries that made it to the wall of one dining room:))) First I was a photographer and then a digital artist and designer:) Phew!
