I had so much fun with this one! I have a bunch of supplies just lying around that I never use, so I took this opportunity to use some of them.

Materials

- pearl watercolor

- dried up soft pastels (I laid down color and moved it like watercolor)

- charcoal

- pencil

- Gelly pens

- "calligraphy" pens

Activity #3

I have taken this entire lesson to be less attached to the outcome of the drawing and instead enjoy the process. This was especially true with this activity. I cared more about what I was doing rather than caring about the "getting it right," which really important for me to remember when I look at other people's projects and see how amazing they turned out!!

Activity #4

Using supplies I have lying around - image 6 - student project

My inspiration was this photograph I took last fall. I love photographing mushrooms, but I'm getting into drawing them too! I think I do better from real life than I do from a photograph though...

Activity #5

Using supplies I have lying around - image 7 - student project

The flower was my original drawing, the blue was my "oops." I made two of the squiggles into faeries, the other two I left alone. I might change them more later, but right now I kind of liked how they felt.
