Books To Inspire You

Do you have a favorite book?  What were the creative elements in the book?  Did a quote inspire you?  Draw a sketch that illustrates your thoughts after reading.

Drawing Birds

The Spring season brings the flight of colorful birds.  Take a photo of your favorite bird that visits your home.  Take a sketchbook & a pencil.  Use the photo as the subject to draw the bird.  Add color & a background image to complete the art.

Card Designs

I enjoy illustrating cards.  Here are a few designs I drew using markers & colored pencils.  I also place the cards in clear envelopes to keep the cards clean & for presentation.

Paper Cards

A quick way of making a greeting card is simply by using a sheet of paper.  Take a paper of any size then fold it in half.  Draw your favorite art on the front & write a special greeting on the inside.   

Winter Snow

Which art material can you use to draw winter snow?  You can use white chalk, pastel, colored pencil, paint, or glue cotton.  Add a touch of glitter to give your snow sparkle.

Rock Balancing

Rock balancing is a form of art that requires patience.  The rocks can be balanced if you find the right point on the rock for placement.  Look for the edge or the surface of the rock to create the balance. 

Valentine Cards

Design a special Valentine's Day card to give to someone.  Write your thoughts using calligraphy.  Draw a large heart then fill the heart with smaller hearts.  Cut ideas that represent love & care from a magazine then glue to a blank card.  Or write an inspiring quote with your favorite markers.
