Welcome to our latest weekend art challenge where we set our students the task of creating artwork on the subject of Bright Coloured Birds. The variety of artwork we received this week is simply incredible. All such beautiful colours. Thank you to everyone who took part and shared their work!
A special mention goes to Latha, who overcame a difficult year after fracturing her right hand. Through dedication and physiotherapy, she regained her ability to paint, and her first artwork after recovery matched this weekend’s challenge theme. What an inspiring journey! We hope she has fully recovered and continues to be able to paint and draw again.
Well done to all! We hope these artworks inspire you to pick up your pencils and brushes. A new challenge will be announced tomorrow—stay tuned!
We hope that everyone enjoyed this challenge. Stay tuned for a new Weekend Art Challenge posted here tomorrow.
I participate mostly in weekend challenges. But because my right hand got fractured I couldn’t do almost for one year. But I took severe physiotherapy and got back in form .My first painting I did to give my therapist after recovery ,matched the topic this weekend. Happy to post here. Latha PBmy colourful bird talking to camellias cute. I used a special type of mulberry paper and watercolor. Ozlem EHere’s a study of the blue tit, which is a colourful bird that I see in my garden. We have blue tits nesting in our nest box every year, they are lovely to watch. This piece is made using pen and ink and watercolour. CatherineExcept for the red beak, a white zebra finch is not very colourful, so I added colour to the background instead. I used waterproof india ink for the outline and liquid watercolor for the rest. LinnI enclose a picture of a mandarin duck. Although not native to this country the outrageously coloured mandarins have made a home here. A single pair lives on the canal near my home in Calderdale. Their feather colours and markings are almost unbelievable! Hilarie SHere is my weekend challenge. I did this cardinal based off of the reference photo in watercolors. I absolutely love cardinals so I enjoyed making this one (my first bird) a lot! I am currently in the watercolor diploma class. Have a great day! Eric THere’s my weekend challenge drawing – I thought crows might like to be colorful too! Cheers, AliciaColourful Bird – Sumi-e on washi paper Ozlem EHere are two hyacinth macaws painted very loosely in watercolour (without any pre-drawing), I’ve then added a little detail with watercolour pencils – it looks like one is telling the other off!!!! Catherine TKingfisher with acrylic paints on A4 mixed media board. Ni NiJulie Martin Molyneux Angela CThis has to be one of my favourite themes! As a keen photographer, I have a huge catalogue of bird pictures to choose from. Great Tits are very common where I live, and such beautiful birds.

Have a nice weekend !!! Tatsiana C“Timmy, the thug, Toucan…chillin’ on a branch with his hairy chest…havin’ a smoke on a lazy Sunday…trying to stay out of trouble!” IvanaBright Coloured Birds. I’ve chosen a toucan. Children’s paints have been used. I couldn’t resist some pink and white material flowers to add a little fun to the painting.
