Looks challenging but layer by layer, working from background to foreground, using brush strokes to emphasize the textures and paying attention light and shadow… no scenery is too hard!
Alexis worked steadily on this piece… sometimes felt like giving up because just too many layers, but when all layers are done, the sense of accomplishment is priceless and an encouragement to pursue the next challenge!

Alexis’ first acrylic canvas painting! There was a bit of getting used to how thick the paint is, why the need to paint so many layers, but this is usual when acquainting ourselves to a new medium.
She did well! 👍

So fulfilling to see Alexis gaining the skills and confidence in so many aspects of drawing and painting, from observing lines, shapes, form and tones to handling the brush.
The secret to do this well, TRUST THE EYES!

Alexis found Erin’s little Totoro bunny so adorable that she decided to do make one for herself! Good reinforcement of the blanket stitch that she just learnt recently and she’s gaining more confidence in sewing too!

Sewing for the first time for Alexis and she caught on fast! Look at the tiny blanket stitches that she sewed! The rest of the features are needle-felted in!

Envisioning space and translating a vision into a concrete sculpture takes a lot of hard work and heart work!
Alexis learnt about forms and space, materiality of different types of cardboards and adhesives, the importance of being precise and handling of tools… and oh, not to forget, problem-solving at every point!
This is probably her first time building a model and she was so proud of it!

First go at chalk pastel. Learning to blend and trying to capture the furriness of the pussy willow bud.
And she did it! 👏👏👏

Drawing is like solving a puzzle! You don’t even have to know what you are drawing! All you need to so is to follow the lines!
And there you have it… it’s a cat!
