Our still life at art classes was autumnal and a little spooky, and there was a lot to draw! We learned about setting up a still life, how to choose what we wanted to draw and getting to grips with drawing different shapes and textures. Fantastic work everyone! 💀 🎃
Nottingham Hill looked like a pointillist painting this morning on my walk with @angwilliams1974
My drawing of @ladyofpoetry7 from yesterday’s class. Love this technique, so expressive 🖤
We started life class yesterday with some reductive drawing using charcoal and putty rubbers to remove the lights, then subsequent drawings adding in darks. Love these drawings - ethereal and atmospheric, and the perfect way to while away a gloomy November afternoon!
Thanks for modelling @ladyofpoetry7
This Saturday! 🍄
Wild Autumn Lino Printing on Cleeve Common - Saturday 14th November
Join this workshop where we will walk onto Cleeve Common to learn about what nature is up to in autumn, then cosy up with a hot drink and cake to print. We will take our inspiration from birds, hedgehogs, deer, fungi and berries to create some beautiful lino prints.
After a brief stroll on the Common to see what we can spot and admire the stunning views, we will return to the Golf Club to print. I will guide you through the simple process of designing, carving and printing your own single-colour A5 prints. You don’t even need to be able to draw!
Everyone will end up with a beautiful set of cards and prints which could make wonderful Christmas presents. Carve out some time for yourself and learn this super-satisfying process!
£45 per person (price includes all materials and a hot drink and cake)
Please note - booking for this event is through the Common Trust website NOT mine.

Art students drew some large scale stereotypically ‘creepy’ animals yesterday as we have just had Halloween. I don’t know about you, but I think some of these are pretty cute ☺️
Lovely expressive charcoal work. Well done everyone!
My drawings of Mike from this afternoon. Using just white is very tricky. Different way of looking and different parts of my brain engaged! 🧠
Fabulous life drawing class today where some us used white medium on black paper to draw in the lights. Great modelling from Mike and some brilliant drawings! 👏
