How to Draw People, Part 2

On February 11, 2022February 11, 2022 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing6 Comments

So who would have thought… When I started this blog in 2016, it was mainly going to be art related. I was looking for a way to give my artwork an “online presence” so I could sell items on my Zazzle store. I have to say that my top selling item isn’t my artwork after …

Jacobean Flowers

On December 12, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Art and DrawingLeave a comment

...are very hard to draw! I have always loved Jacobean designs, since way before I even knew what they were called. I still remember the first time I heard the term. I was wearing a skirt with a flowery pattern and someone complimented it, saying, "That's very Jacobean". Not wanting to admit my ignorance of …

ABC Animals Part 6 – Zebra!

On November 26, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

You may have seen this before... It's from Foster and Panda's adventure, "Safari", when Foster wanted to go to Africa to visit his big cat relatives. In this photo, Panda has jumped up onto a zebra's back and jokes that they may be his long-lost relatives. Foster, as usual, admonishes him to get down, fearing …

Inktober, Finished!

On November 5, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

Yay! Inktober is done! Yes, I know it's November, but at least I finished my drawings on the first, so it may still have been October 31 somewhere in the world... So I only had three left to go when I posted "Inktober, Part 2". The words were "double", "jolt", and "slice". For "double" I thought …

“Inktober”, Part 2

On October 26, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

But first, a review of Inktober, Part 1... I know you have been wondering (or not) where the rest of my "Inktober" drawings have been. Well, most of them have been in my mind, up until this week, when I realized I was so far behind I that I had to do about 10 drawings …

“Inktober”, Part 1

On October 9, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

"What is Inktober?" you may ask... For the longest time, I wasn't too sure myself. I did know it had to do with drawing one picture in ink (hence the name) every day for the entire month of October. Inktober is a fun challenge for all types of artists, so this month I got inspired …

“Are You an Artist?”

On May 4, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

Do you ever wonder why I'm always taking close up pictures of Foster? (Besides the fact that he's cute, I mean?) Well it all goes back to "New Friends", where he asks why I never draw him. I always think, "I need to try drawing Foster" and so I take close ups upon close ups. …

ABC Animals

On March 26, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing4 Comments

One thing I didn't expect when I started this blog was that I would "meet" so many interesting and nice people (and pets) out there in the "blog world". Along with Foster's "blog friends" we have also found some really cool blogs about art. (Just as a reminder, this did start out to be an "art …

Colored Pencils

On January 27, 2018May 10, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Art and Drawing

I cannot tell you how many colored pencils have passed through my hands in thirty years of teaching. After retiring, one would think I would never want to see another colored pencil again, but... These girls are drawing a background for a play we did in one of my English learner classes, (somewhere around 2010 …

Coffee and Pretty Things

On August 9, 2017January 28, 2021 By nanasworldwebIn Uncategorized

"I just want to drink coffee and make pretty things." When I first saw the phrase on Pinterest,  it was one of those things that rang true as soon as I read it. I thought, yes, that's a pretty accurate description of me at the moment. Let me explain... One of the first things I …
