In Day 2 of our Paint the Great Outdoors course in South Park Gardens, with artist Matthew Krishanu, we went from painting together on a grand scale, to some more focussed drawing activities. Drawing with one continuous line and the hand we don't normally draw with…

The second of our Paint the Great Outdoors summer courses took place at South Park Gardens in Wimbledon. A beautiful little park full of wonderful stimuli for the children to work from.

As the children arrived they made a personalised portfolio case to hold their work. We then unrolled a large piece of heavyweight drawing paper for a giant collaborative and exploratory piece to get us started.

Day 2 of our Paint the Great Outdoors course saw artist Matthew Krishanu continue to inspire the children in observing their surroundings and using their imagination to explore the Great outdoors.

This summer painter Matthew Krishanu returned to Children's Art School to lead another two days of Paint the Great Outdoors. This year we are running two courses - one at Donhead Prep school and the other in South Park Gardens, Wimbledon - two beautiful and contrasting settings where children can paint outside and take advantage of some beautiful stimuli - buildings, gardens, plants and trees.

If you have been following the progress of our summer outdoor painting courses in South Park Gardens, Wimbledon led by painter Matthew Krishanu take a look at the final day of Course II below.

This morning, after foraging for natural materials in the park, we made our own paintbrushes and then used our handmade painting tools to create colourful collaborative pictures.
