Penguins, snowmen, pandas, people - student art, (kids & adult), children's drawing class, 1/13/15.
Watercolors after Winslow Homer's "Sunset Fires", 1/13/15
You can see Homer's watercolor, "Sunset Fires", here.
It is a great model for playing with washes, and overpainting the silhouettes when the washes dry. Next time I will practice the schooner separately!

Sports figures & penguins - student art, adult drawing class, 1/12/15.
Exercises A) take a quarter sheet of paper. Color it with black crayon. Cut out circles the size of quarters freehand. Cut out at least eight teardrop shapes in about two sizes. Arrange a circle shape and four teardrop shapes to create a figure on a quarter sheet of paper. Draw that figure on another quarter piece of paper. Do this by coloring in without using outlines. B) On a half sheet of paper arrange two figures with these pre-cut shapes. Draw this arrangement on a separate half sheet of paper. Keep using the coloring in with no outlines method.

B) On a half sheet of paper arrange two figures with these pre-cut shapes. Draw this arrangement on a separate half sheet of paper. Keep using the coloring in with no outlines method.
C) On a quarter sheet arrange a circle and four teardrops to be something like a sports figure. Recreate it in drawing on a separate quarter sheet of paper. Keep using the color in without outlines method. D) try an arrangement of two sports figures using the pre-cut shapes on a half sheet of paper. Re-create the arrangement on a separate half sheet of paper using the coloring in method with no outlines.
Final practice: try for an abstracted penguin-like creature using these shapes but going for the drawing right off the bat, coloring it in, no outlines.
Final drawing: draw a penguin or a group of penguins, from reference pictures, abstracting where you can. Use what you got from the practice, but do as you wish!

Evergreens in snow - student drawings & exercises, adult art class, 1/05/15
Evergreen trees in winter - student art, adult drawing class, 01/05/15. Exercise: blind contour drawing. Papercut exercises: Color one half of a piece of paper with a dark color. Fold in half. Cut out generic or schematic shapes for snow. Attach the colored papercut to the blank half of paper. Make another - change the snow shapes; make them a bit more organic. Now make a colored drawing of one of these dark paper cuts. You color in without doing any outlining though you can create edges. Final drawing: draw a border around the paper. Hold the paper vertical. Do a continuous line drawing of a an evergreen in snow from the reference photo. Color it in with a few colors using what you did in the exercises.
