Drawing Fun for the Holidays

 

You are cordially invited to come to Creative Pencils and join The Holiday Designs workshop.  It is a set of 3 colored pencil projects.  We will draw a set of candy canes with a ribbon, a candle, with evergreen, and a vintage stocking.  In each of these designs I will teach you strong shading skills creating depth and beauty in your drawings.  

In the candle project I will demonstrate using the Zest-It blending solution to create the layered look of the colors.  (If you do not have Zest-It, you can blend the candle just like the other 2 projects.)

Once you have learned how to draw these designs you can mix them to create new designs that are uniquely yours.  

You can use these designs to decorate cards, gift tags, ornaments, packages and much more.

 Its fun and even a beginner can accomplish these projects.  Get out your pencils and let's get started.

Butterflies of Hope

I have a friend who is in a horrific family crises.  It is of a very personal nature.  And I do not feel it is my place to share the details of her story.  My friend's name is Sarah.   Several months ago as a distraction, I sent her a book called Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.  She began to do the exercises in the book and then sent me her first drawing.  It was done in pen and ink - a bit daring for one's first drawing I'd say.  In this drawing she expresses her faith in the midst of her circumstances.  I think the drawing is beautiful and creative.

As an effort to help her financially with the situation she is currently in, I have printed her design on some blank notecards.  They are for sale in my etsy shop in a variety of colors.  I did contact etsy admin. and got permission to do so.  All profits from the sale of these cards will go to Sarah.

Please take the time to look.  

Thank you, Elizabeth
