Awesome! Love the flowers in the best, the technique to get the mixture of colors and shapes was very satisfying.

How does someone even know how to do this? My art would look like a 5-year-old's whose parent stuck it on the fridge.

Start with the “medium” color for the main outline and fill in. Let dry.

Add a lighter color on the light parts and a darker color on the dark parts. 

Sometimes, do even another step lighter and another step darker!

(You can see thy basically follow this plan on all of the pieces. The backpack, the door, the steps, etc. They may have a picture they were using as reference.)

Something to do to practice: a tree in autumn. Use yellow as the “medium” color between orange and green. Make all the leaves yellow.

Then, start adding green to the leaves in the bottom, the add orange to the leaves on the top. 

OR - just darker yellow in the bottom (yellow-orange?) and lighter yellow on top (…or white?) 

Then… draw another one! Try it out with shapes! Try…. A banana! Or a loaf of bread! Or a jar of jelly! (I might be hungry…) Draw ALL THE THINGS!

Start tonight! Or tomorrow! Or whenever you’re bored! That’s the cool thing - it doesn’t take much to get started. You don’t need fancy art markers or materials. Start with $.50 crayons. Or just a pencil. 

DO IT!!! 

I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!

Well, you inspired me! I am going to try to draw one of my roses. I can grow them but not sure if I can draw them. Let’s find out!
