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.

A Day for Rest

Its a lovely Fall day at my house - sunshine, a breeze, and moderate temperatures.

 I'm taking some much needed time off for rest.  Then will be back into busy mode tomorrow as I go to teach a marathon 5 hour drawing class.  But my students are great so it should be an enjoyable afternoon.

I hope you are enjoying your day wherever you are and whatever it is filled with. 

I really liked the way this photo turned out and even the unusual dimensions.  I took the original at Whole Foods Market.   I cropped it from a larger one and then played with it in photoshop to get the dreamy feel.

The Artful Gathering

Join Me July 17 - August 20 for The Artful Gathering - an online art retreat.   I will be joining 15 other talented teachers to bring you a wide variety of classes.  I am teaching a drawing class that incorporates both graphite pencil as well as water based pencils for color.  This class would be suitable for beginning artists as well as intermediate level drawers.   Just think.  You don't have to wash clothes, iron, pack, schedule a flight, reserve hotel rooms, eat fast food, or even get someone to sit with your pets.  Instead you can sit on the couch in your jammies with the cat in your lap and the dog on your feet.  And you will be joining artists from all over the world to take a wide range of art classes.  What fun it will be!  Check it out at The Artful Gathering
