DRAWING SELECTION

Kate Tooley aged 10 created a stunning drawing of Africa's incredible Painted or Wild Dog, in which she captured the expression on the dog's face and its fur beautifully.

One of the most popular species at this workshop was the Chimpanzee. Nikki made a beautiful green Biro drawing of a chimpanzee with haunting eyes. Her delicate mark-making was emphasised further by her choice of green Biro. The eyes are haunting. Caleb and Jude created expressive and characterful interpretations of chimpanzees as well as other species.

Sarah's marvellous red squirrel is the quintessence of our beloved native squirrel and Dawn encapsulated the primaeval essence of the brown hare in her stylised drawing:
