Pepper in Oil Pastel
SOLD
I had this pepper in my salad today, but decided to capture it in Oil Pastel before consuming it! I love the different colors it had, with part of it slowly turning green.

How To Draw Instruction Booklet
I've put together a 15+ -page booklet with instructions for people of all ages who have always wanted to draw but have no idea how to begin! Printed and bound in my studio, this booklet has clear plastic outer covers and is printed on card stock. Cost: $20.00 CAD. I also have a version which is printed on regular copy paper (also with clear plastic outer covers and card stock inner covers) and therefore costs less: $15.00 CAD. Both options are available by clicking a Paypal button to the right. Prices INCLUDE SHIPPING within Canada and the United States.
The topics covered in the book are: materials needed, basic shapes, line, values, as well as LOTS of tips!! Many of my drawings are included in the book.

These eggs were so nice and shiny after I'd boiled them that I couldn't resist taking a photograph to use as the basis for this Oil Pastel painting.

ACEO'S in Pencil
These birds are currently listed on Ebay. They are drawn with pencil on Strathmore Bristol Vellum. I love the little pre-cut ACEO paper that Strathmore sells. They are extremely handy and also come in such cute packages!

ACEO's in Acrylic
Thought I was done with ACEO's, but just can't keep away from them entirely. Even though pencil is my favorite medium, I still find myself picking up a paintbrush once in a while, especially now that I've discovered how wonderful Acrylics can be (compared to oils, which are so messy!)and I love Acrylic paint on Colorfix Paper!
