I'm a day late getting this post out, sorry. It was a busy day yesterday getting out of town and our artist was ornery and did not want to discuss her work because it was cutting into her play time. She has finally agreed to give us a few minutes of her time.
Day 4
Cute Dye
Thoughts from the artist..."The name is Cute Dye because it is a cute dog and his name is Dye. First I traced the head without the ears with a pastel. The whole thing was made with pastels. Then I took my finger and put it on the pastel and rubbed it to soften the line. Next I drew the ears, then the eyes, body and nose. Next I took a white pastel to color the white part. Then I took a brown pastel to color all of the brown parts of Dye. Next I did the background and last but not least I colored in the eyes. There were two colors to choose from for the background - light blue or purple. I chose purple because it is my favorite color."
Finally, Anna Grace's canvas...
Queen of the Jungle
Thoughts from the artist..."This is a painting. First I painted the background. Second I did the purple part of the dress. Next I did the red neckline of the dress. Then I used a pink to paint the nose, mouth, paws and ears. I then used black to paint the fur. Before that I used white to paint the white part of the fur. Then I went back to her dress and did all of the orange polka dots then the hot pink. Next I did the black middle part of the eyes, then the dark blue part. Then I took black paint and did the dots on her nose. It was then time to draw the crown. I did the polka dots first then added the crown below it. Then I did the details on the crown - I put a bit of sparkle on it. Next I did the light blue part of the eyes and added sparkle to her eyes. Then finally I painted the purple shadow at the bottom. This canvas was fun and easy and I liked it because the panda had a crown and a cute dress. Art camp this year was a blast."
Proud Artist #3 of the summer
