Drawing Horse

 

Almost all drawing starts with basic shapes. There are 4 basic shapes: circle, square, triangle and rectangle. Its easier to learn to draw 2d first, then build your skills up to 3d after that.

Draw your horse in the box provided (you have some shapes to get you started - this is designed for children aged 6 years - my grade: 1 curriculum and they love it. They do a good job too.) Adults learn to draw wherever they left off as a child so its good to start at a basic level like this.

Start by drawing the shapes you see in step 1. Then when you have drawn all the shapes, the outline is easy to add. If you practice these often you will be able to draw them from memory. I call them ‘Memory Drawings.’ I have a whole heap of them in my courses so that kids can grow up knowing the basic animals to draw. Its lovely and fun. It also gives them plenty of opportunity to express themselves more because they have a broader skill-set and so they draw a wider range of subject matter. These animals were all drawn by my 11 year old daughter using the step by step process above.

Here’s an example of an entire scene put together (see below.) The background was painted by myself (but normally the kids in the class do their own, I was just creating this example for the creation of exercise so I did this background) and the animals were all drawn by my 11 year daughter - they are the same animals that you see above - its a multi-layer collage project taught over 4 lessons. She did a great job didn’t she. I am sure you will be able to draw this horse too - if you do I would love to see it somehow.

11 Must Have Watercolor Supplies for Beginners

  11 Must Have Watercolor Supplies for Beginners   by  Matt Fussell Perhaps you’re an experienced watercolor artist, or maybe you’re just starting out. Either way, there are several supplies that I feel are essential. You may not use them all in every painting that you create, but if you’re looking to stock up, here’s what I suggest having in your tool box… 1. Watercolor Paints Well there’s no doubt that you’ll need watercolor paint. But what brand and what type you should use really becomes a personal choice. Let’s look at your options… First, a note on low quality brands of paint. There are plenty of low quality brands of watercolor. Watercolor can be made very cheaply and for the lower quality brands, the price reflects this. You’ll see the price that you pay reflected in the quality of your painting as well. Using low quality paints will just lead to frustration, so my suggestion is stay away from the cheaper brands. Watercolor  is produced in two main forms: Tub...

How To Get the Perfect Size Painting For Your Wall

  How To Get the Perfect Size Painting For Your Wall CAROLINE MCDONALD   7 COMMENTS It all started with a comment a customer made on our oversized art,  Storm Over the Marsh  (above). The customer expressed how much she loved the print, only she wished it came in a smaller size. “That was our aha moment,” says our wall decor buyer, Karen. “We have all this great art, typically offered in a single size, and the fact is people’s homes and walls are not one size only.” Thanks to that one customer comment, we’re excited to introduce  new sizes  for 30 of our top-selling prints and new art. Most of the selected art is now available in three sizes — what we consider medium, large and extra large — but actual sizes vary according to the proportion of the individual piece. “Now’s the time to check back and see if an old favorite is in the size you need,” Karen urges. “We also have some fantastic new art we’re really excited about, too.” This is wonderful news,...

Art Material

  Art Material Glossary Facts in books, information in glossaries, the ability to use them in our heads! If you are new to the arts you may have problems to decipher certain art material terms used in the arts field. Or you wonder what brand to get. To help you along, I added this little glossary as a guideline to make it easier to find the right materials when starting to draw or paint. Save Drawing Materials GRAPHITE PENCILS There are varied types of graphite pencils. When you buy a set, make sure that you get one with a 4h and 2h otherwise buy them single. All brands are really fine. I personally use the Faber Castell graphite and Staedler pencils. Staedler is cheaper and a little lighter than the Faber Castell. Faber Castell are the only pencils with an added inner core strength so that the pencils don't break inside when they fall. SKETCHPAD The paper we draw on is of importance. In my time as commercial illustrator I tried man...
