Over the last 2 days, we have been learning about Quentin Blake who is the illustrator for George’s Marvelous Medicine.  We were learning about the style of drawing he does and how he creates his characters.

We then had a go at using art pencils to draw our own self portraits in a similar style to Quentin Blake. The results were amazing!

Today we learnt how to use water colours to mimic the colours that Quentin Blake uses in his illustrations. We learnt that you need to make your paint very watery before you start and you can spread it out on your picture by just adding more water to your page.

Have a look at the finished results at meet the teacher tomorrow night!
