Bobbi keeps working away at her coloring, and continues to grow in her confidence AND her ability to express pride in a job well done.
This is her most recent project, again, colored on someone else's drawing:
I don't have the best camera, but I think the photo captures most of it - dramatic color choices, contrasts, dramatic lighting effectively rendered. Pretty neat!
She and Leah and I were chatting in Bobbi's room for a few minutes before Leah headed off to bed. We'd taken Christmas break to purge/clean/tidy the whole house (and got about a third of the way there - still better than nothing!) and in Leah's room that included purchasing herself a new bookshelf, and then discovering that she also enjoys the medium of color, just with books (and blankets) and not pencils!
And since I'm sharing artwork, here's something of Leah's that she did recently that she was pretty proud of as well. She's been developing her skills, doing a lot of drawing from a model (usually a photo of something she's found on the internet, or an old picture around the house), and this one, drawn from her own imagination, was a departure for her in that way as well. I think it's pretty effective!
They're talking now that Leah needs to draw something and then pass it on to Bobbi to color. I hope it turns into something - I think the two of them could jointly produce some pretty fantastic work!
(And I finally shortened, and posted, Mira's birthday post. Not much, but it's there if you're interested.)
Love, love, love!! :) What a joy it is to see creativity coming out in each child in a different way. God's handiwork looks so different in all areas of the world, so we should expect it'll come out in each different child in a unique way, too!
ReplyDeleteOh, that portrait of Leah's is amazing! I love it.
