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 !

Pass the doodle !




Pass the doodle is a wonderful way for a group of peaple to bond and enjoy each others company.  Just provide each artist with a sheet of drawing paper and plenty of colorful markers , pencils and pens. (and a timer )  Each person draws a doodle on their sheet and after three minuets are up , pass the paper to the person on the left.  (And cut those cell phones off !!!)

Color ! Color ! Color !

What artist does not like to be surrounded by color while they create ! During a "sisters" doodle session,  my youngest sister's craft room provided five girls with bright color, plenty of light, tons of art supplies and goodies to eat and drink.
