Beautiful and richly coloured 'Chaffinches in Cherry Blossom' artwork by Lotti Brown...
'Chaffinches in Cherry Blossom' artwork by Lotti Brown
I don't see chaffinches often in my tiny countryside garden, but when I do I'm always happy to see the beautiful colours as chaffinches were one of my absolute favourites as a child and were often visitors to our family garden...
I create my art from pen and marker drawings... 
Chaffinch drawings in Promarker and fineliner pens
Cherry blossom branches drawn in pen and marker
I draw each bird and branch of cherry blossom separately as I then scan each drawing into the computer and create digitally with my drawings in Adobe Illustrator... do you want to see?

Last month, we were looking at understanding pastels (the different types of pastels, including oil pastels, and the different pastel techniques).

In this Oil Pastels free PDF download we'll look at:
I believe we need art to keep us happy
Is art important? Do we need art when there's so many struggling for just the basics in life..? What do we need art for?
It's an important question - and one which goes to the very heart of our identity as humans and our hopes for how we want to live in this world... I actually think in times like these it’s more important than ever to take care of, nourish and nurture our humanity… because art is humanity! Humans create art. It’s one of the things we do that distinguishes us from animals. Cave paintings and carvings on stones, bones and more show us that art is important to humans. It’s a huge part of what makes us who we are. Do you want 2020 to be the year that you get to be truly creative and learn to draw?
