Blind Contour Friday and Watercolor Science

This week we drew my daughter's jewelery box from when she was a little girl (when the movie 'Anastasia' came out) She chose the theme this week and joined us. It is nice doing blind contours with a group because you can look at each others interpretation and also see what they concentrated on.

Yesterday we had unusually cold weather for where we live, and I had a thought seeing frost on the car window. What would happen if you did a wash of water color and put it outside wet? I got my answer. It actually showed up. What a happy surprise!

Blind Contour Friday

I was joined this week by my son (whom I home school and have made blind contour Friday part of our Art Class) and my daughter. My daughter chose the phone for us to draw. My daughters drawing is on the yellow paper. My sons drawing is below hers and mine is at the bottom. They are very fast at doing theirs. I take much longer.

This is for Blind Contour Friday.

This is a contour drawing of a "Dalek" It is from a British tv show called Doctor Who. I've included a photo if you have no idea what I am talking about.

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain Exercise

This is for a sub-group project I am working with at the yahoo group sketchbookproject. It is following exercises in the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." I joined it because I have owned the book for several years and never made my way through it on my own. I thought working with others would help. This is one of the 1st exercises. Hmm, I see the mistakes but I do see somethings that I don't mind. Next is a self portrait, Oh My!
