It was very relaxing to paint the little fishes.

Another very relaxing and meditative session, yet the feeling of movement in the finished picture shows that those poor fishes are very much NOT relaxed. Thank you Irene for such a lovely lesson.

I used oil pastels throughout for this. It was very relaxing, just what I needed!

The rare Rainbow Pangolin! I really enjoyed doing this, I love the look of line and wash, there,s something very "finished" about it. I added some metallic gold watercolour to some of the scales

This is my second charcoal drawing and I really enjoyed the process.

Hope you enjoy the picture

Very relaxing

I haven’t used gouache much and I think my brush control needs more work. But I’m very happy with the blues and greens in the sea

I found the class for this drawing of great tits in the library of coloured pencil classes. Lovely and relaxing to draw.

What a lovely expression Irene used to describe this fun session.

Having not previously used oil pastels for a whole picture - I enjoyed this

Lots of mulimedia used - my pup has run just out of sight at the

end of the pathway!

Well, I certainly got to play with all my toys this week! It’s fascinating to see how the different media work together. My pup has come out looking like a lamb, but since it's spring that’s OK

Hi Irene I found this in your new library of videos and felt really inspired

by the Beatrix Potter story and her wonderful illustration. It would love to do another animals in her portfolio. Thank you so much

Here's my otter, I love the joy of movement in the inspiration photo and in everyone’s drawings. I will studiously ignore my husband's suggestion that it is trapped in a washing machine!

Loved ths process using a blending stump

It's amazing what you can do with colour pencils - not perfect but I

still enjoyed doing the picture

He’s a cutie 🥰

Primroses. I don't have any acrylic markers yet. Can anyone suggest a good set to buy for first attempts? I don't want to commit to an expensive set until I'm sure I will like them.

Really enjoyed painting the primroses - I really got lost in process and

found it a mindful moment whilst creating the flowers. Thank you for

a lovely class Irene!

Another fun session. I really enjoy combining media like this. I think my hedgehog might be about to produce hoglets!

We haven’t had hedgehogs in the garden for a few years now. I think the local foxes and badgers have scared them away.

I like the idea of this and if my hedgehogs were just a bit better I would really like it. I would love to use this method to capture a place that is important to me. I will definitely be giving this another go in the future. Thank you.

I loved doing this!

I have never used Acryllic paint markers to paint/draw an entire painting. My new Ohuhu paint markers are so luxurious to use. I loved this lesson. Thank you Irene 🥰🥰🥰

🐽😂

I am really enjoying drawing with colour pencils

I loved this lesson . The sealife scene takes on a fantasy underwater painting I think

Here's my pup. I do love using coloured pencils.

Class today referencing Erin Hansen painting. This one is watercolor and guache. I bit too bright. Will leave it till tomorrow and work on it again.

Finally joined Sketch Hub

Still life. I used oil pastels for the main shapes and pencils for the details and shading.

Thi

s made me think of Lake Garda where we went on holiday a year and a half ago. I loved how you taught us to go about painting this Irene . Thank you 😊😊😊
