Flower drawing

Couple weeks ago, I brought in flower and we look at it and draw. This is done in an hour by a eight year old. I love the colouring on this drawing.

New Table

Finally got the change to build the new table I got awhile ago. Why I need a new table? I am getting some new computer and set this corner into a computer corner. Hope I have enough space... 

Flowers in the studio

Last week I brought in some flower and we just look at them and draw. Not a whole alot of kid like doing this, of course everyone like to draw cartoon, who want to draw some boring flower..... But its important to learn from drawing still life. I think at the end of each class, most of the student handle in pretty well and they all learn a thing or two. Its just not very fun for me trying to keep them alive for the whole week, since the plant is not getting alot of light in the studio... 

Camp Poster

Got some poster printed for the Summer Camp. The colour is abit lighter than I wanted it to be, but i guess its fine for now. I am still happy with it, spend abit of time designing the tadpole boy. You will see more of him for sure. :)

New web site design

Couple week ago, I finally redesign my studio web site. I wanted to do that for so long. It took me a whole week to drew all the new icon and update everything. I also added all the Summer camp information. you can take a look here :
