Susan started her rabbit painting last month when the subject was the Chinese New Year of the Rabbit. She has now finished the watercolour with more colours on the rabbit’s fur and the background completed in soft focus, which gives the painting good depth of field, especially against the grasses and flowers in the foreground.

Well done, Susan, your paintings always show such mastery of watercolour!

Angela M has sketched some garden birds with a black biro to show their different shapes and feather patterns. Once she is confident with their individual identities she will draw them again and colour them using coloured pencils.

Well done, Angela, you’ve made a very good start to your project!
