Meet the Artist in Progress

So I guess there are illustrations called - Meet the Artist and What's in my Bag.  I'm trying it, a work in progress!

Five Minute Drawings

Almost done with January!  At first it was super motivating to use the shaving cream paper as a base for the five minute drawings.  Ended up being happy with the very first 5 minute January post about glasses.  Ran out of steam by the time I had assembled the hot cups.  


The colored pencils everyone said I had to have seemed similar to other colored pencils used in the past.  Almost didn't post because of the color combinations I tested out - meh!

The shaving cream paper was fun, looks cool but still smells like shaving cream a month later.  Still has a residue that doesn't take tape, glue, pencil or marker well.  Hmmmm....what do you do with it?  Just enjoy the process I guess. 

Mandalas

Making light watercolor backgrounds first really inspired me and my students to draw the Sharpie patterns.  I will post student results soon.  A couple of them are still finishing up.  They were super excited about the extra watercolor papers being cut to journal size for smaller daily works of art.


We measured to find the center.  Made 1/2 inch tics horizontally and vertically.  Used circle templates for the smaller center circles and then moved to a compass.

Five Minute Drawings

January, in this neck of the woods, means digging down to the bottom of the mitten box to find a matching pair.
