Are you giving private art lessons since hobby lobby classrooms are closed?
Have a college daughter coming home for holidays and thought of how we used to go to your classes. She’s an art therapy major now!!
I’ve been doing some online, but not much in person right now.
That is so neat about you’re daughter!! 🙂
Hi sam I have been using Crayola crayons for a while but when i moved to 4rth grade i got Crazart crans but they don’t work so good but what is a better kind of crayon out there or is the Crayola crayon the best for art because you can shade better?
I haven’t found any that work better than Crayola! Do you have any oil pastels? They are not expensive, and they look a lot like crayons. But they are so fun to work with — you can blend and mix colors right on the paper!
hey, Samantha I been needing to ask u when will u do another contest.
Look for a new one soon! Still trying to get all the anime entries on the site! 🙂
This website is great I have been learning how to draw better and making my drawings more colorful with colored pencil! from Natalia
Hi Natalia,

Hello, what a wonderful website you have! I wanted to begin water color lessons with 2 of my preschool grandsons but didn’t know how. Thank you for your website which answered all of my questions and more… Then I clicked on your store- Amazing!
I am thinking of giving both my daughter and my son one of your pencil portraits of my grandchildren for Christmas. My son has a 3 1/2 year old which would be a one subject portrait. However, my daughter has a 4 year old and 11 month year old twins. Would you
be able to do a pencil portrait of the 3 children? Thank you, Carolyn
HI Carolyn,
I sure can! I’ll add it to the store today! 🙂
hi samantha i am Shilpe from Bangladesh, these videos are helping me a lot so, thanks
So glad! 🙂

Your site has a lot of information and how to’s. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for the time you have put into this site.
Hi Katrina,
