Rebecca's Shoes

I love it when my grandgirls come over with their cute little shoes! I just had to do a painting of these, worn by Rebecca, age 2. Created with Oil Pastels on Colourfix Paper.

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.

Eggs On Blue






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.

Work In Progress



I absolutely love it when people commission me to do a portrait from a photo that's been taken in sunshine! This one is almost complete I think. It's being done with Oil Pastel on Colourfix Paper.

Morrigan Again....




As an experiment, I drew this one using only a General's Layout Pencil.....and loved using that! Fun to do the whole thing with only one pencil!
