I’m trying to get a book project completed today so not too much time for a “true” WW project but today we had a 3 minute drawing class. We drew a lion and I roughly sketched out each feature and then she drew each feature in her “sketchbook.” Looks pretty good!

This gave me an idea for another fun project so stay tuned for that. We also have the unicorn to make from 2 weeks ago. It’s sitting on my desk all painted and ready to be junked.

No Woogie Wednesday project today because we’re in Austin, TX. I was thinking we might be able to fit something in but our day is pretty full so we’ll try next week.

We’re starting a little late today because I had a project to finish up and the Woog decided to take a 3+ hour nap so we probably won’t have the finished product to show until tomorrow.

She knew right off the bat what she wanted to make so for the first time, I let her pick out the items for it. The first thing she dug out was a box of pencils and declared that it would be the horn (glad she’s seeing a vision with different objects) and the frame would be the head and the Melissa & Doug puzzle box would be the grass. The star and hardware bits were extra things she just threw in. I’m guessing he also wants to paint something purple. We’ll see how it goes!

Oh, and today she drew one of the best portraits I think she has ever drawn. You can see it here.

Completed! The Woog’s involvement was pretty minimal for this one than it usually is. Since her daddy was home she wanted to play with him a lot which worked out well for this piece since I did a lot of painted detail.

Happy 4th!! We’re working on the base of Uncle Sam and doing this one a little different by using clay (she made the “snakes” for his hair and beard) and painting the body in gouache. We’ll then junk it up from there. Check back later…

Yes, it’s Wednesday! We might be dragging this project out for a few days since the Woog is going to play at a friend’s house later this morning. In the spirit of Independence Day I think we’ll do Uncle Sam. I thought about this last night while in bed so here’s a sketch done about midnight last night with the only light coming from the tv (it’s kind of obvious I couldn’t see my paper very well!). In the meantime, check out what we did to celebrate the holiday last year.
