My Favorite Things Part 2

Welcome back! This week I’m going to share with you the insights from Kim McElroy’s new DVD titled “Secrets of Drawing Horses” Level 1 – Connecting with the essence of horses.

The DVD was very good. It was a very different concept in drawing using pastels. Kim discussed the traditional methods of teaching art. It brought back memories of art class and how right on she was regarding the traditional drawing techniques from drawing circles and connecting with lines to drawing fruit baskets.

The DVD was relaxing, inspiring and easy to watch. I wanted go and buy the pastels and paper immediately! Her methods talk about drawing from within, drawing outside the lines and letting the lines flow naturally. Her choice of music was soothing. I can’t wait for the next DVD. I highly recommend this DVD if you have a desire to draw or paint horses.
