My granddaughter who is 9 is visiting. It is such a joy to have company that say let’s draw, or paint! Best company anyone with a passion for art could want! I think that is what they come for! I have so many supplies they get to choose the media they want. They often ask what paper will work best. Tonight Lily sketched her bird chilie a little blue Quaker. She was going to try oil on canvas & paint him but said every time I paint I mess it up. So I pulled out an old used canvas bought at a rummage sale. I said come on will paint clouds with oils on this. She is actually pretty good. Hopefully we can finish this 24×24 painting tomorrow. Her arm was tired. We decided on flamingos. We went to the zoo a couple of days ago & was mesmerized by there beauty. I’ll post it if we finish it this visit! The kids only use water soluable oils, & spike oil when using oil paints. She is learned about color mixing, mediums, values. She will be an amazing artist if she continues.
