Work in progress for next assignment due April. Acrylics on Duck cotton which I’d never even heard of till my #OCA tutor suggested it. First time I’ve used anything like this and it’s so different from paper, I’ve come over all Sky Arts about it! Did need an iron though after I’d wet it and given it a blow dry 😆 Bit more tomorrow. #painting #weareoca #steyningarts #nevertoolatetodoadegree https://www.instagram.com/p/B9XOdOJFsEK/?igshid=1u59z38kj95x6

Still life, complementary colours, yes that’s a pear. #acrylics #oca #weareoca #steyningarts #nevertoolatetodoadegree https://www.instagram.com/p/B9M8pIClSRG/?igshid=dtfgye5acvux

Totally defeated by a flower today so here’s a beetle. Any time. #softpastels #oca #weareoca #painting #nevertoolatetodoadegree https://www.instagram.com/p/B84aqp2FUrT/?igshid=12ewryfgs6t6b

About 20 minutes, give or take. My woman looks a bit more defiant than the original I think but I’ll take that! Same old black #conte plus various erasers on a cheap as chips piece of A1 flipchart paper. #drawing #oca #weareoca #nevertoolatetodoadegree https://www.instagram.com/p/B71QH5wlU9a/?igshid=iokukzzi8rsq

Sketches from photos, each after a different well known artist - more or less! For the final assignment Drawing1 #oca #weareoca #steyningarts #nevertoolatetodoadegree https://www.instagram.com/p/B5RGQjYFE96/?igshid=1eyk7th3mnnnv

Another copying exercise from the Aristides atelier book. Don’t look at the hands. No, really, don’t! #drawing #oca #graphitepencil #steyningarts #nevertoolatetodoadegree https://www.instagram.com/p/B4sF45bgZHD/?igshid=1mndpwr4np6j3

Copying is good if it’s for practice and you credit the originator of the work. This is Hokusai’s Great Wave, stop laughing wait till you see what I did with a Turner 😂 #oca #drawing #artistsoninstagram #steyningarts #nevertoolatetodoadegree https://www.instagram.com/p/B3nCvoeAxEu/?igshid=11s5r26yuhbax

And for my next trick - a whole face! Obviously I’ve subverted the pretty pretty eyes, mouths, and noses of the demo videos and gone for the full grown up grump! #pastel #stumpblend #artistsoninstagram #nevertoolatetodoadegree https://www.instagram.com/p/B0lftTJgO_s/?igshid=hnytin32qozi
