subscribeInside Ella’s Sketchbook
July 26th, 2010
Ella Faye is turning into quite the budding artist.
On our last trip around Target I frantically buzzed up and down the back-to-school supply aisles looking for a few things to add to her drawing table. We came home with a new box of crayons, a pencil box, and a yellow composition book (50 cents! I should go back and stock up on these!)
Well the book is nearly full. (I guess I should do that stocking up soon.)
A couple of my favorites
She likes to get a little coloring time in before breakfast, mid-morning, after lunch, and before bath. Any time is a good time for coloring, according to this little artist. It has swiftly become her new favorite thing.
It’s been fun to watch Ella’s lines go from straight scratches across paper to more fluid, roundy swirls.
She’s also begun to name everything she draws. She even takes requests, lucky us.
Tonight she drew a montage of food: cereal, cake, milk, pizza. Then I requested that she color beans and she kindly obliged.
There’s a pink five-pointed star in that one there! Can you see it??
This one here is a portrait of Yaya, Papa, a kitty, and Daddy.
She’s taken a liking to drawing in the nude. She says it’s something about being fully-expressed.
Doing her best work
