Latest Student WIP Photos

Kookaburra by Marie Willett

Swan and signets by Louise Mather

Wiemarana by Joanne Davey


Here are artworks some of the Tuesday Jindalee class are currently working on. The Kookaburra is finished but Joanne and Louise still have to add more before their masterpieces are complete. The swan is mainly just undercolour at the moment and when finished will be much more solid and three dimensional. The wiemarana is at the stage where joanne is adding a layer over darker undercolours. The photos do not do their art justice. (My questionable photography skills!)



Pastel Art Classes will begin soon at the Girl Guide hall in Ascot on Thursday mornings.
