I got home just in time to get the groceries put away before a young man arrived to be tutored in Precalculus. I am now waiting for the young man who lives across the street to call so he can come over to be tutored in Algebra and am taking this little hiatus in my day to post.
I have a couple of things to show you. I did a quick (I mean really quick) sketch of a turtle for EDM 207 just now,
and I also have a card I made using colored pencil of a purple finch and his Mrs. that I am sending to my sister Margaret.

I am having a giveaway either to celebrate closing in on 60,000 visitors or for no reason at all except that at the watersoluble media class I took with Kristy Kutch one of the goodies was a tin of 12 Derwent Inktense pencils and I already have that exact set. If you are interested in winning this wonderful goodie, just leave a comment on this post before my early morning post on Monday, June 13. That means that you should probably leave your comment sometime before late Sunday night.
This is an unopened tin of pencils that retail for somewhere in the neighborhood of $25. Good luck!!!!

And now I think I'd better get a move on and get the salad made for dinner and hope my student doesn't call until after dinner now that it is already 6:15. The Tigers are on at 8 this evening and I am hoping to be in the living room watching and am hoping for a win similar to last night. Go Tigers!!!
I like your interpretation of something with a shell, lol! and the finches are adorable =)
ReplyDeleteI am still a beginning student--taking classes and my art student daughter is a great help. I would love to be entered in your drawing.
Hope you got dinner down before your student arrived!

I am a new EDM member and just popped in to check out your latest work. Love the turtle. So simple yet still has a 3D feel. And I would love to be included in your give away drawing. I have been looking at the Inktense pencils but haven't bought them yet.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'm entering! I don't have watercolor pencils - I have some of the watercolor crayons by Staedtler but they have to be used a little differently than pencils would be.
ReplyDeleteLove the card, by the way. Great contrast in the colors.
Love the birds and the turtle. Count me in for the drawing.

Your posts are making me feel guilty! Drawing is a lot of work!! I really should take a class. Please include me in the draw, because I know the pencils would be a lot of fun to use.
ReplyDeleteHi, Vicki,
ReplyDeleteI've been following your EDiM and now June posts - and I am amazed at your discipline - good for you! I would love to win the Inktense pencils. I've been thinking about trying them. They sound pretty cool. Glad you had time with your grandchild. What fun! Have a great weekend.
Blessings,
Tricia
