Hallowe'en got me thinking about trick or treat, so I opted for treat and found an old fashioned sweet shop in Bangor. The choice was enormous, from lolly pop swirls to mint humbugs and cherry lips! I got bags-full of a variety of shapes and sizes, looking for patterns and contrasting colours to give maximum visual joy! Here are a few students lovely artworks.

| Alison S - good enough to eat! |

| Christine's |
Some opted to draw on tinted paper. This works really well for coloured pencil, and saves a fair bit of elbow grease regarding background tones. It's also lovely to ADD white, rather than leaving blank white paper to create light areas.

| Sara, in action! |
 |
| Rachel J's tall glass of sweets, excellently resisted! |
 |
| this is also by Rachel J, who enjoyed the subject so much that she did a second version. The background paper - which she found by just scanning the room - really adds to the fun of the subject. |
 |
| Daniel's lovely water colour. Background washes are a challenge in water colour and I think Daniel did a great job here. |
 |
| Tania's, coloured pencil |
 |
| Rachel O - first ever time using coloured pencil! |
 |
| Ken's sweets in a cup, coloured pencil |
