Introducing a few of the characterful creatures pr

Introducing a few of the characterful creatures produced in the ceramics classes over the last few weeks. Modelling animals is such a challenge but lifting these out of the kiln over the last weeks has been a real treat. It is amazing what can be achieved with sticky mud but it’s the patience and perseverance to capture a likeness and a sense of life that is great to see. The donkey is by Evelyn Livingstone, the hare by Mags Jefferies and both Pine Martin and Border Terrier is made by Holly Ramsden.

Getting in the seasonal mood with lovely winter scenes in the watercolour class today! These paintings are after artist, Shari Blaukopf. It was a chance to use a limited palette of Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna and Alizarin Crimson to capture the gorgeous winter colours, which in turn highlight the bright snow.

This beautiful painting was just completed yesterday by Shiela McDairmid. She has really captured the character of these siblings and worked with fine brushes and oil paints to achieve this high level of detail. I’m hoping they are fed soon!
