Welcome to my (other) blog. You will find many links from free art tutorials ,art instruction, tips and links. And if I am brave enough some of my own art work. My companion blog G.R.I.T.S. Journey of Southern Ladies will not be posting art blogs. (Well, maybe a few.) I do review these blogs and web sites before I post. But please , check them out before your child uses them. (Some of them do include nude drawings ) I am also including some sites that show works that I like. And will include all sorts of goodies. Hope you enjoy and may your own artwork be joyful and done for the glory of God !

Watercolour pencil techniques by Tim Fisher




___________________________________________________________


Many of you have asked me how to use watercolor pencils. The is an excellent tutorial. This is also a great way to sketch or "paint" when you travel or are on vacation. ( By the way Crayola and Rose Art are two good brands for kids to use. The colors are bright and the leads are smooth, but don't break easily.)

Do Doodles al the Day !!!

Here is one of my doodles that I started during a Dr. visit. You are welcome to copy and color it. Can you see the butterflies ? Every time I go to the doctor's office I get "butterflies in my stomach". So, it helps me to draw. If you are a young person or an older folk, (Like me) try doodling.

One of My Best Art Students EVER !!!

In June I had the honor of teaching this young woman how to paint her first ever painting. She has written about it on her blog. And I must say she was easy to teach even though she chose a very challenging subject ! She was also very gracious to yours truly . Yes Elisabeth, I do love your painting and I get very excited teaching people to love art. Keep drawing and painting. !!!!

Elisabeth's blog is called The Year Thirty. Check it out.

I have been known to finish a painting !!

My friend and fellow artist, Elisabeth took this photo of one of my favorite paintings.
