April Art Club REPLAY
Drawing statues inspired by Bologna!
Hello again! It’s a double bill replay! I am posting the replay of this month’s Art Club and what a fun one it was. I’m really enjoying the move to lunchtime Art Club. I have more energy, and the light is better - win-win! And it felt like we were all feeling quite lively this time, with lots of nice chat while we worked. I’m leaving in the bit at the beginning when I was setting it all up, as we talked a little bit about Bologna, and generally had a nice chit-chat. I started off by deciding to do a look through my observational drawing kit, and got a bit carried away! I ended up creating this lovely swatchy image below - delicious! And it was very enjoyable raving about all my favourite art materials - hopefully you will enjoy it too!
Here are all the details, in case you missed it when I posted earlier in the week.
THEME?
I was massively inspired by all the statues I saw in Italy, I just love statues, I even wrote one of my books about statues that come to life on the MA. So I thought it would be fun to draw the fountain of Neptune this week.
I had such a nice time doing the materials swatching, I ran out of time to finish my statue - but actually I kind of like it in it’s half finished form!
MATERIALS:
Use whatever you want, but here is a suggested list, to help prompt you:
- paper - ideally A3 or bigger
- art materials - I like to think in wash, pop of colour, tone. So you could bring some paint or ink to add washes of colour, crayons, oil pastels, pencil, marker pen, paint pens neocolout etc for pops of colour, and charcoal, ink, paint, in gray, black or paynes grey to add tone (if you want).
That’s it! Replay and reference pictures below for paid subscribers!

You need to be a paid subscriber to attend Art Club. You can join for £4.50 per month, or £45 per year. That is like having one fancy coffee per month - I actually paid £9 for two cups of tea in London earlier this month! Outrageous! Just think, for half that price, you can get access to this replay, and Picture Book Club AND,access to my full back catalogue of videos!
