Some things we have been up to. . .
Matthew and Nathan have been studying artists and imitating their techniques at their homeschooling co-op (Classical Conversations). I thought they did a beautiful job with watercolors.
This is Nathan's version of an Andrew Wyeth painting. It shows a house with snow falling. The snow was made by dabbing rubber cement on his original drawing. When you do watercolor over it, the rubber cement resists the paint. After the watercolors dry, you can rub off the rubber cement very easily.
This is Matthew doing a watercolor in the style of Georgia O'Keefe. Right when he showed it to me, I knew - Georgia O'Keefe - the lady who paints huge flowers.
Lovely, I wish I had rotated the girl's art work in permanent frames... Children's art is the best...
