An Art Lesson

We have had a set of oil pastel crayons in our art supply drawer for months and no one ever wanted to use them. Last week, however, C spotted them and told me he used them in school. He wanted to present an art lesson to R and me. I was very excited!

He told us to color whatever we wanted on our paper using the oil pastels.

C drew himself wearing a Wolverine costume with a trick or treat bag. He also drew the moon and stars in the sky.
R drew a lot of colorful scribbles. She said it was a monster. I wonder where she would get that idea.

I drew an Autumn tree.
C then directed us to use watercolors to paint over our drawings.

Here are the finished projects:

I have wanted to try resist painting with C and R for the longest time and it just never happened. This lesson was great for all of us. I wish you could have heard how well C presented the lesson to us. I was very impressed. We are all looking forward to more art lessons!
