Weekend Art Challenge Results – Waterfalls

   August 15, 2024  6 Comments on Weekend Art Challenge Results – Waterfalls  Posted in Student Artwork

Welcome to our latest weekend art challenge where we set our students the task of creating paintings and drawings of waterfalls. Waterfalls are a fantastic subject to tackle as you have the opportunity of capturing the dynamic interplay between water, light, and landscape. Students can to explore movement and texture.

Our students have beautifully depicted not only the power of the waterfalls in their artwork but also the serene beauty through their paintings and drawings.

For those who haven’t yet participated in our challenge and are inspired to give it a go, painting or drawing a waterfall can be a rewarding experience. Wed love for you to give it a go. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different techniques, like using a wet-on-wet approach in watercolour to capture the softness of mist or layering different shades of blue and white to create the illusion of rushing water. The key is to immerse yourself in the scene and let your creativity flow.

Stay tuned for another challenge tomorrow….

This was a very useful challenge and I enjoyed checking out the references supplied. My waterfall is based on a photo taken in the Brecon Beacons earlier this summer.

Waterfall in Pastel Pencils. It is based on one of your photos but I made it to look like it was night (moon) because of the dark grey pastel paper. I have never worked with such dark paper or a waterfall. It was quite demanding.

(Images above and Below) I watched the YouTube tutorial and here are my waterfall efforts!!! The first is my version of the tutorial one, but I’m not too happy with it!! The second piece, I much prefer – it’s very loose and free, it’s happier and flows better!

  2. I wish I could create loose and quick parts of drawings or paintings.I always think of and create a finished picture as per my education. I have seen so many inspirational pieces of artwork at LAC that jump out at you but are very minimalistic.

  4. We are happy to know that you have been inspired by the artwork that we post here Ivana. Keep painting and drawing and experimenting, that’s the only way to improve. Oh and have fun in the process!

  5. If I May…for LAC students…other than this great college you can learn a lot about drawing with pastel pencils and other similar mediums at Colin Bradley School of art.
