Well, my dad always said, "Loree you need to learn to leave well enough alone."
When am I going to learn this lesson?  I stared at my female Avatar until I found something that bugged me in the face, so I began to redo her eyes. Guess what, I totally ruined her face. Now I am frustrated wanting to quit, but because I want to set a good example in front of my kids and teach them never to quit. I am trying very hard to find the motivation to go at it again. By the way, all my artist friends, it's this determination that makes a really good artist. We never quit, we just keep doing it until we get it right. It just might take a while.    Loree

I worked on the male upper body today. There is lots of tedious work to do with the smallest detail brush I have. It is a slow but rewarding process.

Willow Smith

This song makes me crazy but I love the video. It is so creative and artsy. It makes me want to get my colors out and start slinging them.

Dear Parents,

I would encourage you to frame some of these beautiful pictures your children are doing. And maybe we can display them at open houses or other events. Simple black frames will work nicely. If you want to go farther use black or white matts. I like black Matts with Graphite, it makes the picture stand out. Nice frames can be bought from Michaels or AC Moore with 40% off coupons from the Sunday papers.

Check out all the new  Artwork. Great Job! Everyone. Our blog is looking fantastic. I can't wait to see more. Keep Drawing. I wonder whose drawing will go up next.  

Jessica's "Daily Affirmation"

I would like for all my students to do this every morning.
Never say,"I can't do it". "You can!!!!

Oh, and add "I'm a great Artist"
"I love to draw, I love to draw"
You get the idea.

Skipper by Loree Lam

Skipper was done with no blending. No tortillions. No stumps.
 But I used a wide variety of pencil leads.
I like the tones I achieve with this drawing. The whiskers
were etched in with a homemade styllus.

My good friend Donna Maria once said to me,

 " I am the pencil, in God's hand , and my life is his canvas.
 He can paint it anyway he chooses".

This is my first pencil portrait that I did all by myself, (with a little coaching from mom, but mom never touched it). Rozi Lam
