Week 26

Forest Finds

Congratulations!

You’ve reached the half way point in the year! Whether you drew something everyday, or took breaks but came back to the challenge, you’ve been showing up for six months to make art and that’s what counts! I’m so proud of you!

 

July's Theme: Found in Nature

This month we’ll be exploring different environments and ecosystems. We’ll look at things found by water sources (like beaches, lakes and marshes) to things you can find in your own neighborhood. But this week we’ll be focusing on drawing things that are found in the forest.

 

These pinecones were drawn with the Artist’s Pastels bush set.
