Beautiful watercolour paintings for the Fish Tank project. We will put all the pieces together next week and the paintings will look stunning!

Ooh! gorgeous watercolour effect for the background on our Lamma Restaurant Fish Tank project.

Wet in wet, blue and yellow paint on watercolour paper.

Island Arts drawing groups last week went to Yung Shu Wan to a sea food restaurant to draw the fish in the tanks for our next piece of work.

We are going to learn about watercolour paint and paper and create a painting based on our sketches at the restaurant.

What fun we all had and thanks to the restaurant owners for letting us sketch the beautiful fish.

In November last year I started a group of art lessons for the kids here on Lamma Island, Island Arts, held in a lovely space called Banyan House School which is a Waldorf Kindergarten by day. We meet at the end of a school day and they enjoy this time to draw or paint real objects from observation.

Here the group are tackling the complexities of a still life. The standard of drawing is getting really good!

This lovely little landscape was done by Becky, aged 10 using watercolour pencils and wash.
