Melissa's Art Update

Back by popular demand (aka FAN!) we have more of Melissa's latest Works of Art! She starts with acrylic paints in class today! She will be doing a simple cartoon acrylic of her Dad's favorite cartoon character, Homer Simpson.

This colorful Parrot was her last pastel drawing before moving on to watercolor, and by far, my favorite of all the pastels.
This watercolor Butterfly won her the Artist of the Week award. :)

Little Hummingbird is also watercolor with some colored pencil detail. This is Melissa's favorite and she said this was the most difficult so far! She "created" the backgound color herself by blending. The details of the bird were very tedious and hard for her. This one took several weeks to finish.

This little Green Snake is one of my fav watercolors. I just love the swishy strokes of blended color and the detail of his eyes.
