This Is "Oliver"



This was Denise's (adult) first attempt at colored pencil. I think she has found her medium!

Having Fun With Your Self Portrait

Here, Kari took on the challenge of doing a self portrait including the portrait of her sister. She depicted the surroundings quite well, even the reflected light on the cave walls. I think the painting reflects their personalities and captures a likeness as well.

The Next Step For Ashton

Ashton has completed the beginning drawing exercises, she's accomplished some animals, now on to PEOPLE!

This profile face presented some challenges as far as the size of the resource (approx. 5"x7"), the gradual value changes and capturing the wind blown hair. Ashton worked very meticulously on every detail. In this piece I think Ashton is really developing her own style. This completed work is quite an accomplishment!

(Ashton age 15)

First Drawing Project


Claire is 11 years old and has moved on from the beginning drawing exercises. This was her first try to apply the skills she's learned to her first animal drawing.

She became familiar with her pencils and worked carefully on values (the lightness and darkness of something). She discovered what the different erasers can do for you. Claire enjoyed the development of this project.

A Job Well Done, Denise!!

Denise (adult) continued her colored pencil drawing of her dog, Kara. I think the results are amazing, but I'll let you decide!



This was Denise's second colored pencil project! She took her own photo and used it and Kara as a resource.
