Drawing and Watercolors

I finally re-checked out "Drawing With Children" at the library and have found the beginning drawing lessons so enlightening.  I admit that it isn't easy trying to teach art to your children, when you are not very artistic!  I began 'googling' phrases like: 'how can a non-artistic homeschooler teach art lessons'?  I found some interesting and helpful blogs, but so far the book has helped the most.  I am learning to accept that what we are doing currently is our best work and that we have 'arrived' artistically already.  There is nothing to wish for here in the future; we are enjoying what we do with art and creating our own expression of what we see and feel right now! It is satisfying to lose yourself in an art project and think about nothing else.  OK ~ here are today's still life drawings with watercolors... I love how H used brighter colors...she is so free and uninhibited.
 Mark is getting into the shading here...
 Me ~ I'm just enjoying the colors...
