Spring like
I'm still working on the Draw.Write.Now series which is helping me -- so what if the drawing I used tonight was designed to teach six-year olds. It's humbling to acknowledge that that's where I am in some aspects of my mark-making, but so it is. This time I tried using their design with watercolor pencils instead of Prismacolor. Each has advantages/disadvantages.
The wind of the last few days suddenly stopped this afternoon and a real warm spell is due tomorrow. We've been promised temps in the '80s for the first time this year. I'm not ready for that. I live for the rainy season and it's always too short.
The mail carrier brought the dreaded packet today -- the big manila envelope with directions and forms and papers to submit regarding Beulie with the official notice that we have to give her back to Canine Companions for Independence next month. I was expecting this to arrive, just hoping it wouldn't happen so soon. So... we have about a month more to teach her the first 30 commands, get her completely socialized and prepared to enter advanced training.
One of my favorite Kids' Drawing authors is Ed Emberly. His little cartoon prompts are SO easy you can't help but try them out! I got most of mine from a used book store: Green Drawing Book, Red Drawing Book, etc. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteHow are you able to give these dogs away? I know you go into it with the knowledge they aren't yours but it still must be awfully hard.
