Peacock Oil Pastel Tutorial

It’s not perfect. I can’t do it. It doesn’t look like yours SEE…

And I tell her, Sweet Girl, The world isn’t perfect. There are bumps and squiggles and dents and dings, but that is what we want to see. We want to see lopsidedness, and misshapen, off-center and unsymmetrical

Our drawing can reflect reality rather then perfection.

So she kept pushing herself, I instructed and she drew her best.
There were moments of frusteration, but as her drawing came together she began to see how beautiful her drawing she really was!

Confidence was built this week.

She is begging for another picuture, a tiger she says would be amazing with it’s red and orange……or a sheep with it’s white fluffy body….

And I’m thinking of all the goals we met over the school year, our Summer months spending time together, just might be more fruitful.

If you want to try out this little peacock,
I’ve posted the full tutorial on our website.

There is even a printable peacock for a template guide,
or for your TOT’s to color in while you instruct your older kiddos.

I actually printed the peacock for my oldest boy, who struggles with motor control and it would have made the lesson excruciatingly painful for him. He was full of joy when coloring it in with pastels and it was still a mini lesson for him :)
