Still Life Drawing
Miss Anna did a still life drawing today!
This was her first attempt at working on shading...I think she did a fantastic job!
Anna is 13 years old and going into the 8th grade!
Anna this is beautiful!
Happy Drawing!

Still Life Drawing
Today I gave a private art lesson to Sydney. We focused on drawing techniques and shading.
It is always important to see what you're drawing. Don't just try to draw from memory because you'll end up with something that is not very accurate. It will look more like a "symbol" rather than being realistic. So... I chose to have her do a still life pencil drawing of an apple.
To do the still life I took her step by step through the drawing process. We looked at the contour, the shapes made from shadows and highlights, texture, etc. She used a #2B drawing pencil, blending stick, and kneaded eraser.

Keep in mind that Sydney is only 9 years old! I am so proud of her! This is awesomeness!!
Sydney working on her parrot...this is a drawing that
I'm doing step by step with her. When it is finished I'll post it.
So focused!
