Welcome to our latest challenge where we asked our students to complete a piece of artwork using pastel colours. Students could choose any subject and any medium. We received some really lovely ideas and creative artwork this week.
Our featured image is by student Alice Nightingale, completed using watercolour and gouache. We absolutely love it, so crisp, bright and fresh. Congratulations to all of the students who took part this week – keep up the great work!
We hope that everyone enjoyed this challenge. Stay tuned for a new Weekend Art Challenge posted here tomorrow.

For this challenge I painted the balloons with white paint then added the watercolour pencils mixed it all with water to get a light pastel colour. The background is black, white and silver children’s paint. Once dry I used chalk pastels and did a brick wall rubbing. String was added for the final look.
