Painting in Progress

by

The artist is hard at work this morning…..various stages of her painting. She’s mixed paints with aqua crayons for the effect:


Update: 4 hours later….she’s still at it. Channeling Pollock again and painting on the floor. I’ve entrusted her with a gallon of gesso in the true spirit of artistic freedom.

    Love it! I let my 7 year old loose with a 4'x4' canvas and everyone who steps in the house comments on his painting. I was wondering what sort of paints your daughter is using, they look easier to use than the paints I gave my son to use.

    Okay this is awesome. I think you should make this a little series… or at least a "what I did" post. What mediums you let her use, your encouragement to get her to work on it, etc. I think that would help those of us who don't know where to start… get a starting point. Okay I am begging:)
