Welcome to the results of the weekends art challenge. We challenged our students this week to all look up to the sky and portray what they saw.
We have received a huge number of stunning paintings, drawings, photos and digital artwork via email and posted on our facebook groups page. We are certain that you will be very impressed as you peruse down the page.
This weeks feature image is by new student Ada Toth who recently enrolled on our Illustration Course. We love your artwork, well done Ada!

I drew this picture by ball-point pen. Hu ZeteI have attached three pictures of my 2 little paintings of sky and clouds (both paintings in acrylics 14 x 11in). The blue sky is of what I saw on Friday afternoon while on my daily walk. The second one is from the picture of the sunset taken when I was in Lanzarote last year (like a dream now). It was a very pleasant subject to paint hence two paintings. Barbara DereckaIt was so nice to sit in the sun sketching the sky above and see the clouds, I thought I would include a silver lining on a cloud! Pauline BurkeFrauenkirche in Dresden Ania LebiedzkaLast summer I spent my holidays on Bornholm Island (Denmark) and sunsets on the Baltic Sea were so amazing. Turquoise, magenta, purple, orange, dark blue colours. I took many photos and tried to paint the mood of these evenings for the week-end challenge. Watercolor wet in wet. Rose-Marie BiehligSky at night, sunset painted in oil pastel then very generously melded with turps, it was a very quick painting and I really enjoyed doing it. Sheila BrownThese are my successful attempts at the challenge of this week. I must congratulate you on this challenge as my practice in this was postponed for a while now, and in my course I am at unit 11 that requires more watercolour so I already started to do some landscapes from other books. Luiza VaroviciA special cloud for the Weekend Challenge. Best regards Barbara SchunkHarvest Moon – 2020 I completed this over the weekend, but wasn’t sure to submit. Any who, these challenges are rad. Justin RobinsonIryna LabunskaAm I too late for the weekend challenge – sky? I hope not, but in any case, here’s mine (with a bit of sea beneath) Clifford HerbertClouds/sky, trying ink, watercolour, charcoal. Rita FrostWeekend Challenge. Painting skies is not my forte so I thought I’d share this photo I took last week at our nearby lavender farm because the whole scene wowed me! Sadly you can’t smell it too.

Chris RyeAudrey QuintonYorkshire dales. Oil on wood panel. 30 x 40 cms Shankar N KashyapWeekend challenge. Clouds. One of my favourite things! Helen JaegarSky and clouds Anisha DilipA moody sky in graphite. I wasn’t really sure how to approach this one, so I decided to use some pure graphite sticks that have been kicking around in my draw forever! I then just used a blending stump to push the graphite around. Not sure how well it works, but it was fun. Ian DanceWeekend art challenge, the sky and the sea Dóra BirgisWeekend Art challenge – Sunset clouds over hills Heidi S. KonchogAudrey QuintonFor this picture I used oil pastels. And to get the outline of the clouds the top end of a pencil was used. I choose the original picture because of all the different colours of the clouds. Some of the colours I didn’t expect but I thought looked beautiful. Nina PhillipsWeekend Challenge Look Up Denise DancerWeekly challenge. These are my 3 miniature acrylic paintings. 3 different kinds of sky, clouds, like a 3 different moods. Yola NtaClouds and sky looks beautiful during sunrise and sunsets.
