Night Butterfly

I've always loved butterflies.  Just watching them dance in the air is so uplifting.  I drew this butterfly as it takes off into the night under the moon.  I used metallic colored pencils & added simple designs to the wings.

Fall Colors

It's fall 2011.  Fall's a perfect time to capture the beautiful colors changing on the leaves.  Take some photos, gather a few leaves, take your sketchbook outside, and get inspired!  Create art by using fall colors: deep red, gold, dark green, orange, yellow, brown, etc.  These warm colors combined will bring warmth to your home or office on a winter's day.

Blending Chalk

If you use chalk for your artwork, here are a few items that you can use to blend the colors:

Q-tips. cottonballs, soft sponge, tissue or a soft cloth.  You can create a mixture of colors by blending with these items.  This works well when drawing with colored chalk on black cardstock.
