Day 15: Baby Penguins
Still working on catching up with #The100DayProject animals ... so here's a few baby penguins for it! If you'd like to see the rest of them, click HERE. I've a lot of catching up to do, so off I go to pick another animal, though I may concentrate on panda bears for the next few days as practice for my book illustrations.
Drawn with Derwent water-soluble sketching pencils, painted with Winsor and Newton watercolours, in a Stillman & Birn zeta sketchbook. Cheers.

Day 4: Baby Armadillo
It's not that I have so much free time on my hands that I have to join a Drawing A Day challenge (cue hysterical laughter here) -- it's that I really really need to draw a lot of animals for these books I'm illustrating, so when the opportunity came up to join #The100DayProject on Instagram, I immediately grabbed at it. Forcing myself to get started on those animals, particularly ones that are in some way related to the panda bear and elephant habitats.

Brazil Kids Art lesson!
We learned about the country of Brazil, the Amazon rain forest and artist Romero Britto today.
We started off class learning about Romero Britto, a Brazilian Neo-Pop artist whose work really resonates with children. I’ve attached several examples here:
Then we created our own Romero Britto inspired art using crayola markers and black line work.

Kids art India class
We learned about the history, culture and art of India today and had a lot of fun!
Our main project today was recreating the ‘painted elephant festival’ of Jaipur, India. Here are some cool examples of painted elephants from the festival:
We created 3-dimensional paper sculptures with collage elements and decorated them with colored pencil ‘paint.’
Here are some of our final creations:

We also enjoyed a traditional Indian snack recipe, with mixed reviews! (It used a lot of spices the children were not familiar with, plus it was vegetables). I did not include the tofu or the peanuts in our recipe.

A quick salad snack made with corn, indian cottage cheese and raw veggies
Author: Swasthi
Recipe type: Snack
Cuisine: Indian
Yield: 2
Ingredients (240 ml cup used)
· 1 cup of corn kernels (boiled)
· 10 paneer or tofu cubes
· ½ small onion finely chopped
· ½ small tomato finely chopped
· ½ carrot grated
· 1 green chili (optional, skip for kids)
· Few coriander leaves / cilantro chopped
· Chat masala powder as needed
· Amchur if needed (your chat masala will already have amchur, so add only if needed) or lemon juice
· Salt as needed
· Pepper powder if needed
Instructions
1. Wash corn under running water. If using corn on the cob, soak them in salted water for sometime. Any pesticide residue will just get rinsed well. Boil the corn cobs or corn kernels in a large bowl filled with water. If using cobs, remove the kernels after boiling. Drain water completely. If you are using tender corn, you can alternately steam the corn to retain nutrients.
2. Cut paneer to small chunks. Tawa fry paneer in just one tsp ghee.
3. Add all the ingredients and toss well and serve corn chaat immediately while hot. If desired you can top it with crunchy roasted peanuts.

Amazing ohio kids art – folk art chickens!
Oh how I’ve looked forward to this class.. I am very easily amused and I think chickens are one of the weirdest, coolest animals. Did you know chickens are related to dinosaurs?! True story. For proof, click here.
I think they look alike, don’t you?
In class today we learned about folk art and viewed some farm related examples of North American folk art, including sculpture and quilts. We sketched chickens in 3 different ways:
Anime chicken by Thatcher. WOW.
Then we chose our favorite chicken sketch and drew the design on large construction paper. We used oil pastels and baby oil to blend bright colors together.
Finally, we collage-d paper squares around our chickens to create a final folk art ‘quilt.’ Here are our final images!

Oil painting commission: Dog Portrait - Bear Cox Animal owners are pretty fussy about their animals and I have been reluctant to do animal portrait commissions for quite some time. Someone asked me recently if I would and I relented. This portrait was for a special 21st gift. I have to say I did enjoy doing it and maybe will consider future commissions. My fee for a portrait this size is

Susan Hill's new mystery The Pure in Heart is reviewed in this week's Entertainment Weekly: "Although heinous crimes often go unsolved in real life, that's never the case in fiction. Well, almost never. In Susan Hill's pensive mystery, Detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrailler — called back to his English cathedral town from a Venetian vacation — can't figure out who abducted a small boy, even after months of painstaking police work. He's also consumed with worry for his two sisters, one severely disabled, the other pregnant. And worse still, he's being stalked by a crazy ex-girlfriend. Hill is a fine writer, and, despite the lack of a crash-bang finale, The Pure in Heart ends on a brooding, downright ominous note. A- "

Arriving in bookstores soon is the second installment of Susan Hill's trilogy of mystery novels set in the fictional cathedral town of Lafferton, England, The Pure in Heart. DCI Simon Serrailler is back, and Hill is at the top of her powers, picking up the story from The Various Haunts of Men. In a starred review, Booklist said "this is realistic, gritty, and gut-wrenching crime fiction, but it's also a poignant and thoughtful character study. Add to that Hill's mesmerizing storytelling ability and her gift for making characters and situations come alive, and the result is an outstanding read that will stay with readers long afterward."

The Overlook Press' own Susan Hill is offering a free Creative Writing Course! She's already being inundated with entrants! Here are the details straight from Ms. Hill:
1. It will begin in September 2007.
2. It will be on this blog but in a separate section from the main page - it will have its own dedicated area and all I will do on the main page is flag up the next lesson.
3. It will be open to anyone at all.
4. It will be FREE.
5. I will not be able to comment in detail on whole manuscripts but I will comment on individual work to a certain extent.
6. You will need to sign up for the course simply so that I will know if I am addressing one, or a thousand and one people. No comittment otherwise - I shan't know if you are there or not unless you comment etc.
7. You will need do some homework and this will include READING as well as writing. I do not believe you can learn to write well unless you read well, and read the work of those who have done the job better than you or I will ever do. So there will be reading and studying fiction and non-fiction as well as writing it.
Sign up today for your chance to study with the author of THE VARIOUS HAUNTS OF MEN and THE PURE OF HEART. And maybe your book will be featured in a future Overlook Press catalog!

It seems that American fans are hot to get Simon Serrailer, the enigmatic inspector from The Various Haunts of Men and this Fall's The Pure of Heart, *hitched*! Our beloved author, Ms. Susan Hill, addresses it on her blog here. What do you think? Do _you_ hear wedding bells in his future, or do you think he should remain unattached? Let your voice be heard in the poll on the top of the left bar. Viva, bachelorhood? Or crying all the way to the altar? You decide.

Great word on the new Simon Serrailer mystery THE VARIOUS HAUNTS OF MEN in the Star-Ledger:
""The Various Haunts of Men," the first of three novels featuring Detective Inspector Simon Seral lier (the second, "The Pure in Heart," comes out in November), is a controlled, impressive piece of work. The heroine is Freya Graf fham, a young policewoman who has transferred from London to rural Lafferton in the aftermath of a messy divorce. She balances the pleasure of starting a new life with the chore of convincing her superiors that her instincts about a string of recent disappearances are worth listening to. (The ending leaves us primed to discover more about Se rallier, something of an enigma here, in the next installment.)"--Charles Taylor
What a sweetie! He seems quite a character. I just want to reach out and squeeze him, Kayleen. You've given him personality!
Hi Jarm, Personality plus in this llittle guy. I should have called him shadow because he loves his mum big time. BTW I have been sketching hedgehogs this week also :-)
