And then We Painted

Mesa in particular has been into painting in recent years. Since I have exactly zero artistic ability, this has left her to fend mostly for herself. (Thankfully, one artistic young lady has been at the Ranch for the better part of two years and her equally artistic sister joined her here for about 6 weeks last fall – and they were such a blessing to the girls in helping them with their artwork.) So, we’ve been trying to take advantage of artwork opportunities in the area and are so excited that our library now offers membership to Creativebug for library card holders.

Last week we took our first foray into a Creativebug watercolor art class. The kids had a blast and I was so impressed with their eye for color. In this exercise we found a picture and tried to recreate that color palette.

The last color block on the page was Kasen’s first palette submission. You can see how the purple-y huge matches one of the purple corn kernels.
This picture doesn’t show the picture Mesa was trying to match, but I just love all the colors in this photo.
Sadie might have decided to move on to other things when she got tired of the assignment.

We will continue on with our watercolor class through Creativebug, but Mesa is also pretty excited to attend her Acrylic Painting class tomorrow that was our Christmas gift to her. I’m sure there will be photos!
