Evelyn's Mermaid pt1

This is Evelyn's lesson from today. I picked something harder to challenge her more. I still think she did really well! We're going to add more details and some value to it next week. She is 6 years old, and in 5K. 

Colorful Fairy

Evelyn showed me this today. She had taken it home and colored it on her own. 

I think she did well with her color choice and pretty well with her draftsmanship!

New Student!

Isabelle the Fairy- by Evelyn

8.5x9? Graphite on paper

Just this morning I was blessed to get a new student for private lessons. She is in 5K and her name is Evelyn. I'm told that she has been drawing at a level above her peers for a while and showing a lot of motivation on her own to draw and color. Since today was the first lesson I asked her what she likes to draw; immediately she said, "Fairies!" 

I really like getting to work with 4 and 5 year olds because it's something I don't normally get to do and because they're learning absolutely everything so there's a lot of explaining to do (and I love to explain). 

Isn't this a great fairy for a 5 year old?
