Drawings for Christmas




Hi everyone. I've been busy drawing and painting some Christmas presents. My daughter hardly ever comes to this blog (fingers crossed) so I'm going to post them here for you to see. I worked from photos and did the drawings on Rising Museum board (the rough side this time) and used a variety of pencils from 4H to 2B. I had so much fun! Hope you enjoy them. The 3 girls are my daughters kids, and Aaron is my step daughter's son.

    Thank you! You are all so kind. I'm off to work on another painting for my granddaughter. She's read the book Coraline about a thousand times. I already did a drawing for her and now I'm doing an oil painting. Hoping it will be finished today so it has time to dry!
