Today Annie learned about blind contour drawing. We started by setting up a still life of two pears. Annie thought blind contour hard and did several sketches before deciding on this one for her painting.
Next I helped her trace the drawing onto bristol board. Then we both had fun mixing up some gouache in several shades of green. We had to look very close to see that the pears had other colors besides green.
This is Annie's finished painting which she took home to show her mommy when she returns home from work this evening. We had a fun afternoon!

Wow this is fantastic, I thought maybe Nina did this one!!! Isn't it fun to get all that paint moving?! I hope you frame this!
Great job Annie!
Great job Annie!
You did great, Annie! Isn't doing blind contours fun? Of course, I would imagine that doing anything with your Nina is fun! Great job with the colors, too - I love gouache!
Hi Annie! I love how you used so many colors of paint for your pears. I love gouache, too. I'm not very good at blind contour drawing, though, and need to practice it more. It was also fun to see your photograph from the earlier post!!
Well wow!!!
she did great. Much better than I could do. I'm going to have to try this technique.

Great Job Annie! I think your pears actually look better than your Nina's. Keep up the great work, maybe we can all paint together soon.
I love this painting! I can't wait to see what she does next!
How lucky she is to have you.
