DRAWING SELECTION

Attendees at this workshop included Alisa, Violet and Edie Richardson. Alisa is an outstanding Artist and has produced several beautiful drawings during workshops including this stunning portrait of Grauer's Gorillas which she finished at home. Alisa's mark-making and drawing style are exquisite and it's a joy to see her sensitive artwork develop and her confidence grow.

Nine year-old Violet's drawings skills have surged forward since attending workshops and her natural talent, like her mother's, is shining through as her confidence also grows. Violet's Hooded Vulture is astonishingly accomplished for someone so young. Six year-old Edie chose to make a portrait poster of her African Snail, Scrambled Eggs, sadly no longer with us. It's wonderful to see Edie expressing herself through drawing in Biro.

Brothers nine year-old Caleb and seven year-old Jude who attend every workshop always create wonderfully expressive drawings of wildlife and their cheetah drawings are particularly sensitive. By special request Rosie drew a panda:
