Hi everybody this is the first of the videos.  It’s more suitable for the older students but you can all try it out.  I would like your feed back as I am in the process of making a load of documentary videos during this lockdown.  If you have no oils just use what you have, you will however need a pallet knife.  When you are finished just email me on your work and I will load it onto this page.  Take your time, you have all painted trees, people walking away and dogs, remember anything you walk on has to go left to right.

The hardest section of this is the walking figure and dog, if you get stuck just go into the blog as there is a section there on how to breakdown and draw the figure, but its easy.
