I've created another youtube drawing demo with Valentine's Day in mind. This drawing of a squirrel holding a gifted heart could be used for a gift tag, to make a special card for a loved one, or it could simply be matted and framed. I've included the outline here if you would like to try your hand at it.I hope you have lots of fun with him. I would love it if you would share how you use him here. If you post it on your blog, be sure and leave the link so we can see.
If you enjoy drawing and would like to learn more, check out my online drawing lessons at Wind and Honey Classes. I teach interactive online video classes. We are having a great time there.
This summer Artful Gathering will blossom into not one but two wonderful sessions of classes, workshops, and creative fun. I have already shared with you what I will be teaching in session one. In session two I will be giving a workshop on an animal portrait. The subject will be a beautiful Barn Owl. And we will accomplish this portrait using a simple graphite pencil and a touch of Derwent graphitint pencil. This owl portrait was fun to create and will be even more fun to teach I will walk you through one step at a time. You will love drawing him. This workshop entitled A Portrait of Beauty and Wisdom and it is an intermediate to advanced class.
May you all be blessed with a merry and joyful Christmas. I hope as you walk through the new year and the inevitable challenges that come with life, that you will be strengthened with hope and the peace that passes understanding.
I have watched this video many times and it makes me giggle every time. I hope you find it equally as delightful. It starts slow. Just stay with it a moment.
Wind and Honey Classes is an online learning site. I teach drawing lessons to new pencil artist through a video format. The camera is situated just behind my shoulder so the student gets a perfect view.
Come on and join in. Its fun. You really can do it. You'll be glad you tried.
Today I am finishing up this leopard portrait. It has taken me longer than usual. It is a special gift for my son. Maybe that is why it has taken so long. I am excited to give it to him. I hope he is pleased.
I am an artist / instructor specializing in illustrative pencil art.
My art focuses on the delights of life, mostly on the relationship between children and animals. I teach online drawing lessons through a video format that allows interaction between the students and the teacher.
I have been married to the Poet for over 35 years. He is a gem and we have 2 adult children who are artists in their own right.
Having said all of that, in the end, I am really just a pencil artist "drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes." It is my prayer that my images and my words would inspire you to hope and to know the Author of hope.
