Grazing #1 & Grazing #2

Emma, my 8 yr. old granddaughter really had fun painting these two delightful pictures during her birthday art lesson with me. She learned how to use positive and negative shapes, in this case horse cutouts she first drew herself and then arranged and rearranged on another piece of paper until she was satisfied with her design. After tracing them, she painted the first one using variations of the primaries red, yellow and blue. We enjoyed the painting so much, we had her paint another one using the same horse cutouts but arranged differently and painted in a complimentary color scheme. I love children's art and am impressed with Emma's fresh and sensitive view of the world.
