As a drawing teacher for years, I've found that these six worksheets are at the core of what all students must know to tackle landscape drawing. They are always introduced to my own art students at the beginning of any landscape drawing unit and these techniques and terminology follow them throughout the unit. Take it from a seasoned drawing teacher...these six worksheets are essential and game-changing. These would work well for all students from upper elementary through high school and beyond. Your students will learn to draw basic landscape elements such as tress, rocks, clouds, grass, and mountains. They will also learn how to draw 18 unique landscape compositions which are all constructed with a minimum number of lines. There are two line-only worksheets, and two corresponding shaded worksheets which are dedicated to considering the direction of the light source and shadows. A blank sheet (empty boxes) is also provided for the students to copy these examples and/or explore creating their own landscape compositions utilizing the foreground, middle ground, and background concept seen here. I trust your students will find these as beneficial and enlightening as mine do. Enjoy!

This captivating print captures the essence of the heather blooms along the River Coe, set within the majestic landscape of Glencoe. It is an abstract interpretation that sees nature through a prism of vibrant hues and bold textural strokes. A meandering river cuts through the valley, its reflective waters offering a serene path that guides the viewer's eye towards the distant mountains shrouded in mist. The foreground is dominated by rich shades of pink and purple, evoking the heather's lush presence. The vegetation appears almost ethereal, painted in expressive brushwork that conveys movement and life. Stones tinted with splashes of pink lie scattered beside the river, suggesting a landscape bathed in the warm glow of sunrise or sunset. In contrast to the vivid foreground, the mountains rise in muted tones of blue and grey, geometric shapes stacked upon one another to create a sense of depth and grandeur. The sky above is a canvas of subtle gradations, from pale to a deeper blue, reflecting the changing light of the sky above the highlands. This print promises to be a thought-provoking addition to any space, inviting contemplation and a sense of connection with the rugged beauty of the Scottish landscape. It is a celebration of colour and form, a testament to the wild and untamed spirit of Glencoe.

As with all shadows in the landscape, capturing accurate values for shadows in a snow scene can be challenging, especially when working from reference photos. Since there are additional reflective qualities that come into play when painting snow, important visual adjustments must be made in order to create a genuine sense of light and shadow. You may find it helpful to first complete the earlier lesson on Shadows, which pertains to shadows in a mostly green landscape, as it covers many basic principles about shadows in general, and technical tips on adjusting reference photos.

Many students have the idea that you don’t really need to know how to draw in order to paint. I disagree with this. There is nothing quicker to peg a painting as amateurish than a bad ellipse or missed proportion […]
Happy New Year! Despite the long pause in postings, I did actually complete a few more sewing projects in 2014. January 2014 - Drawstring book bags for Allie and Cate's birthdays February 2014 - Robert Hughes baby quilt (I really need to consider taking a "how to photograph your quilts" workshop:) quilted with stars and spirals May 2014 - Amy Becker's HS graduation lap quilt Amy picked out fabrics at Fabric Depot during her Portland visit, Christmas 2013. I supplemented with a few fabrics I found at The Stitching Post and at Kapaia Stitchery during a trip to Kauai (always looking for an excuse to fabric shop). The blue batik with butterflies was the first fabric Amy chose. Other colors were built around that. quilted with vining flowers and leaves Now Amy has this nice warm lap quilt - perfect for her college years at the University of Arizona in Tucson. She assures me that it does get cold there, especially when the air conditioner is running. November 2014 - New curtains and duvet set for the Sisters house After 20 years, Stefanie and I decided it was time for a change in the upstairs bedroom in our Sisters house. We found some curtain fabric at IKEA (seen below in the medium-sized pillows). After a futile search for a coordinating duvet cover I decided we just needed to make our own. Not as cheap, but so much more fun! On the bed in Anna's old room at our house (tempted to keep it here, but...) Had to add a border piece as it was just a bit too small. Found a fun coordinating fabric at The Stitching' Post. Shams and throw pillows. The quilting in the shams mimics the print in the curtain fabric. All set up in its new home. On to 2015... January 2015 - Jeanne's lap quilt This quilt was made for my good friend and fellow swimmer, Jeanne. She will be out of the water for a bit, recuperating from surgery, so of course this called for a quilt! My daughter, Anna, suggested the colors - perfect for a swimmer. Another swimmer friend, Jenn, joined me for a shopping trip to Fabric Depot and also helped with part of the sewing. Sandi and Jeanne The design incorporates over 60 small blocks with names of some of Jeanne's friends. Next Up???? cityscape art quilt based on a photo of Roussillon, France art quilt based on our Croatia travels last September flower/plant themed art quilt for the Hardy Plant Society Hortlandia Plant Sale in April hopefully taking Hilde Morin's Bowl Art class
