Weekend Challenge – The Alphabet Challenge – B

Welcome to this months Alphabet Challenge for the letter B. You can see how much fun our students have had this weekend and what great challenges these are turning out to B! 🙂

Our feature image is shared by Sarah Hogan with her ‘Its Berry cold out there!’ and Eve Warren who knitted a bee this week. We love them both, so very creative and fun, they certainly make us all smile in this very cold spell of February!

We also have to give a shout out to Pete Woolgar’s very colourful Bee painting and Barbara Schunk’s Bug watercolour. We love it, even the shadow behind the bug is very delicate and beautifully painted, the antenna are stunning!

There are so many amazing paintings below, you just have to scroll through to see how much time and care our students have spent on their artwork this weekend. It is all helping to improve their creativity, observational skills, knowledge about the materials used and also being able to start and finish a piece within a short space of time. Not to mention the courage to post and share work with us. Keep up the amazing work everyone, another challenge to follow!

Here comes my contribution for the weekend challenge.
“B is for bug“ – I’m not sure what kind of bug it is, but it’s certainly up to something!
Barbara Schunk

B for Ballerina. I’ve used watercolour pencils for the background and used a damp tissue to create a bloted/ smudged effect. The tutu is again watercolour pencils. The top half of the tutu is again smudged and the skirt part was left dry. I found some metallic shapes to decorate the background and every premier ballerina needs a crown.

‘There was a baboon, who one afternoon, said I think I will fly to the sun…’ One of my favourite poems when I was little. So for me, the letter B for this month’s challenge, could only be Baboon – and here is my effort, created over a lovely few hours of tranquility this morning.
