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)

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. 

Es.

She's fascinated by biology. Skin, blood, teeth, what's inside your bones, where babies come from, and lately, milk bottles. Last week she told me that she "couldn't sleep well, because when people have small milk bottles they can't sleep well."
