This is my gouache painting on bristol board, 9 x 12 inches
Today Annie and I spent the afternoon learning about blind contour drawing.
First we stopped by for a visit at my friend Diahn's blog: Art by Diahn to see what a blind contour drawing was. Annie's eyes flew wide open anticipating this lesson would be challenging. I told her our brains were going to work very hard with our drawing hand and arm!

For a look at what Annie worked on today go visit her at Annie's Adventures with Nina.
I love contour drawing and enjoyed sharing the concept with Annie. And what fun we had bringing out the gouache for us to add color to our drawings!
Marta,
I love this series of art lessons with Annie. What a cutie and very lucky little girl. You give me many ideas for my painting sessions with just 3 year old Sydney who is obsessed with making things.

I really really like your pears, Marta!
Such style, quite striking. I envy your gouache painting of late.
I love those pears!
Wonderful! Your lessons with Annie are so much fun to see. Thank you for sharing them with us!
Marta, those pears look lovely. This is so much fun seeing how you teach art to Annie. I might apply this idea to my Iris, who is 2.5 years old now.
Marta, I LOVE THESE. Just beautiful!!!!

Marta, I love these juicy pears, love the shape and colors. Nina's pears are cool too!

Marta, it's interesting how you coloured the pears, using a small palette.
