Drawing Monday

We have been enjoying drawing for almost a year, now. Our first sketch book is filled - or, in K's case, used up, because she ripped out every drawing she liked to share with her public.
I am enjoying the fact that we all can do this together, including Nanny, and her home care worker.
We had gotten into some fairly complex drawing, using the step-by-step method recommended by Monart.(drawing by myself)

(d rawing by K, age 5)
We also played with watercolors and oil pastels, which was fun. 
However, I found that E (3yrs) was acting a bit defeatist about the whole drawing thing, so I stepped back to try easier pictures. Here is a recent caterpillar; first K's, then E's. 
 

It has been such a pleasure to do this together.   
      If you look closely, you will see that the caterpillar is smiling.

  3. If you don't find yourself getting anywhere, find the level where everyone is enjoying it and stay there. We are staying in the step by step drawing spot for a while yet; I think she recommends that until age 7. There is so much available to do. Your kids probably like cars and stuff, right? Mine love flowers, butterflies, presents, and people.
