Weekend Art Challenge – Red & Green

Welcome to our latest weekend art challenge where we asked our students to create a piece of artwork using the colours red and green. The theme of this challenge was very well timed as it was Remembrance Sunday, so many students decided to create artwork around this theme. Our featured image this week is by student Suzanne Prytherch who said….

As it was Remembrance Sunday at the weekend, I thought I’d have a go at drawing some poppies using pen and Polychromas colour pencils, in just reds and greens of course!

We love not only Susan’s Poppy’s but all of the Remembrance themed artwork painted by our students. Well done to you.

On a lighter note we do also have some lovely Christmas and winter themed images, we love the presents by student Lianne Jorisa. Absolutely wonderful.

We hope that you have enjoyed this challenge, we will try to have more colour challenges next year. Stay tuned for the next challenge coming tomorrow!

Watercolour using red and green……’Remembrance – an uncle I never knew’

Had paint and one brush and just crossed my fingers. First ever watercolour flower.

I remember as a child, my siblings and I used to look for ladybugs in our garden and were always amazed by these cute little creatures. They remind me of the beautiful things in life.

Red and Green ‘Flowered Pot in the Shade’

Weekend Challenge. A net bag of fresh limes and a juice squeezer… hey presto I had the Red and Green theme all ready in my hand. A real life still life! (Well, it does look a bit abstract, I suppose.)

I didn’t think of anything for ‘Red and Green’ and then Helen’s post made me realise that I had done this ‘reminder’ for the bridge club Remembrance Day tournament. Because many members are ‘of an age’, we also remember those who did their bit during the war – including two of our ladies who worked at Bletchley Park.
