September Sketchwalk
Me and my son Ritesh went for the September Sketchwalk by Urban Sketchers Singapore in Circular road, Clarke Quay. Needless to say, we happily sketched there ....it's very much inspiring and encouraging when sketching together in a group..... Ritu managed to do many sketches, this time strictly from observation!

Kids Art @myartsandcreatives 2014 - Watercolour landscapes
The final episode of the Drawing module is "RAINFOREST", you can see the details about this project here and the up close pics here.
The second module is all about Watercolours.........the Introduction class is about how to handle the brush, how to control the water and pigment ratio and practicing some important brush strokes.
Then the second class started off with two watercolour landscapes......I thought it is very important to teach kids about the strong power of simplicity, suggest with simple but effective techniques...........look at the various soft edges of the sky that add to realistic forms of clouds....if they had done these landscapes in the same way before knowing the technique, sure the sky would not have been very soft and subtle as these........here the sky is the supporting element of these two landscapes!

Kids Art @myartsandcreatives 2014 - "Farm"
After birds, I started with animal drawings.......thought it would be easy for my students to go with farm animals first. As usual I came up with a "Farm scene" project, it was going to be like a landscape with a Barn and a windmill. As students need to be taught of "perspective", this project was challenging. It took a while for them to understand why they are drawing the barn at the top and a horizon line as such, but upon completion they got more clear of the scene. Needless to say, they were very happy about this project.
We could see the drawing skills getting better and better by this project. I used Poster colors for coloring this scene.
Techniques: Drawing,
Coloring with poster colors,
Sponge painting for grass,
Masking with tapes,
Finger painting.
Our outcome:
