giveaway! Art Lessons on DVD

April 15, 2010 · by Penny · 34 Comments

My resident artist daughter and I have spent the afternoon watching these lovely Dvd’s and now you can too!

In these two simple art lessons, Kimberly Eddy teaches beginning art students basic pencil drawing techniques, and watercolor skills, while creating a lovely winter scene. This DVD is nearly 2 Hours long, and geared for ages 8-10 and up.

In this picture, we’ll draw a maple tree with a sap bucket hanging on it, and a sugaring shed in the background, first in pencil, and then using watercolors.

These are great! So simple even I think I can do it, yet not so simple as to bore my already drawing daughter. I loved the angle from which they were filmed I feel like I was literally watching over Kimberly’s shoulder. I also really loved the background music, soothing was the word for it. In a house with lots going on, it was really appreciated and a pleasure to watch. I loved the fact that I won’t have to spend a fortune to get the supplies, in fact we have almost everything needed to do the same projects. On each DVD she teaches how to do the same picture both with pencil drawing and with watercolor. Kimberly is an excellent teacher and gives great instructions. I can’t wait for her next DVD, but until then she also has lessons on the site, I notice she has a lesson on Daffodils right now. These DVD’s are wonderful for homeschoolers or anyone wanting to add art to their life! My Moriah has been inspired to now start a nature journal.
