Having been at school most of the weekend I’ve had little time for creative pursuits. However I randomly painted a study of a unicorn. Top tips! -use an oversized brush, then you can leave brush marks bold. -add layers of paint from dark to light. -don’t be afraid of challenging subjects, turn your work upside down to paint!

Here is my next creative boost challenge. Today we found joy in colouring in our owl together. Learn to make layers with colouring pencils and press harder for burnished effects.

I have something a little different for you this week. I have turned my Shadow Owl painting into a colouring page for you to enjoy. You can download it free from this email and print it out as many times as you like. https://gxgqjbb.clicks.mlsend.com/tf/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjE3MjQ3MTUsXCJsXCI6MTY1NzE5MDc4MDg5MDAwMzkxLFwiclwiOjE2NTcxOTEwODY5NjkzNDI4OX0iLCJzIjoiOGY4NGZjMmVkZjNlM2E0NyJ9
