Painting houses for a drama set

The drama for Christmas Eve was set in a village. We rewrote the whole thing (more on that later) and it was much more upbeat and fun. We used the original design from WillowCreek “God With  us” package for the village but added our own touches to it.

 
Painting a tree in Photoshop

Today was a quiet Thanksgiving for us because tomorrow is going to be our family celebration. So, I spent most of the day scanning old papers (to get rid of papers) and trying different ways of drawing digitally.

 
Drawing of food from tea

I had meant to draw the food the day that Corrie and I went to Linde Lane for tea, but it took me a while to get around to it. But I finally did it!

 
High tea drawings

Due to scheduling conflicts, travel and such, Corrie and I were finally were able to celebrate Mother’s Day/birthday for my mom today! Daniel came along too (he likes sampling all the foods) and it was the first tea that I brought my sketchbook and drew the food!

 
Angela’s artwork

In my efforts to improve drawing, I have continued to try different things.

I checked out a library book on Chinese gardens, so I did a sketch of one of the gardens I found in there (a photo).

 
Megan’s manga

Megan has definitely taken after me in her enjoyment of drawing! Her drawing style is quite different than mine, but she is totally an amazing artist of drawing people in a manga cartoon style!

 
Art and architecture

This past week our family went to Irvine for a few days. I had the opportunity to do a lot of drawing.
