Topic: Drawing Lesson
Demonstration drawing of a coastal Maine poppies scene from the kids class, followed by the kids' versions of it. We draw the frames before the drawing. In the guise of ornamentation we get a bit of shape and markmaking practice in. It is also good warm-up. Ideally there would be lots of time spent on this kind of practice - on a daily basis.
Here is my demonstration watercolor of the coastal Maine poppies scene and a colored pencil version of it. This is from the demonstration series for adults, at the Rockland Library. Tomorrow we'll be doing a beach roses scene. You can see some of the student drawings in colored pencil/crayon below.
