FROG ART

Have you ever wanted to draw or paint a frog, but lack the confidence?

Art Friends now offer an online step-by step- workshop simply called

Frogs, Frogs, Frogs

In this module we are going to investigate and look at these beautiful creatures. We will explore different techniques and media to create frog art with dramatic outcomes.

This five-lesson workshop introduces students to the following experiences.

• Drawing basics using line and pattern.
• Exploring colour of the frog and the backgrounds
• Using different techniques both wet and dry to create a frog.
• Various observational skills which will help you in the future with other topics.

Lesson 1

Fast Frogs Part one: This lesson will get you all warmed up by working fast. We will do several quick drawing exercises focusing on line and shape to get a feel for our motif.

Fast to Finished Part two: After using our fast frog art drawing techniques to begin we will now slow down and add colour and details to create small, finished studies of our frogs.

Lesson 2

Liquid Drawing: This is a linear observational and playful lesson using our eco colours and water to explore our imagery in liquid fashion.

Lesson 3

Wet on Wet: Explore working wet on wet with colour and shape. Working in a gentle and loose manner.

Lesson 4

Combining drawing and painting: Using our new found skills it is now time to marry the two techniques together.

Lesson 5

Where is my Background?

PART 1 Backgrounds can be challenging, sometimes the best background is no background! But this frog art workshop lets you play with a few simple techniques to create a variety of backgrounds.

Bringing it all together

PART 2 Using your backgrounds and combining your drawing and painting skills let’s bring it all together to complete your work!

We will combine our new drawing and painting skills to build art knowledge and confidence. Frog art lessons are structured so that are suitable for both beginners and more advanced!

I do hope you will join me for Frogs, Frogs, Frogs – Kylie
