I was gifted this stunning little painting today by a pupil. Since completing work on his folio, he has been producing a series of little 14x14cm landscapes. After listening to me bang on about how much I love this one he left it on my desk at the end of the day @WLSkills_Centre

All creatures great and small. But mainly great. The kids chose the subject and the media and produced some fantastic animal art! @WLSkills_Centre

IDL week and India is our theme. Pupils were tasked with creating a Mumbai slum and given a range of materials but minimal teacher direction. Lovely to see a bit of play and experimentation on show. I’ll definitely consider a more pupil-led approach in the future @WLSkills_Centre

Getting our spook on with these clay gargoyles. A bit of silver and black acrylic paint to give them that authentic, aged, granite shimmer. @WLSkills_Centre

‘The boys were a credit to you and your school: well behaved, responsive and eager to participate in the activity I had prepared, and they made me laugh which is always a bonus.’ - tfw you get a visitor to your classroom who recognises just how ace the kids are! @WLSkills_Centre

@angeladunn6 Hulllllooooo! Weird coincidence: your unimpressed Theo post appeared on my feed the other day having been liked by someone who apparently follows us both. You’ve got quite the cult following by the looks of things!

I rarely post my own drawings here on Twitter so I thought I would for a change. Here are a bunch of commissions I’ve done for folk over the last few years.
