Lillian Gutteridge

Lillian has a real love and talent for drawing many different kinds of animals, not just horses! Here we can see that Lillian has really developed her own unique personal style in these beautiful illustrations of barn owls. I love the way she has crossed the branches over each other, giving us the deeper perspective, and the heart shaped faces of the two barn owls with their eyes looking sideways is wonderful!

 I love the way Lillian has depicted this owl flying through the clouds. It really looks so happy and calm. 

Lovely pieces of art, once again, Lillian!

Ingrid Hollis

Wow! Ingrid joined the Drawing Time club at the start of last term...she's only seven years of age, and just look at what she is capable of creating! The picture on the left is called "Rain Spell", and I do believe that we've had a pretty constant downfall ever since she drew this picture just three weeks ago. How could it not rain after such a picture was created? There's so many raindrops in there, and don't the plants look happy! I'm not sure what the picture on the right is about but I love it! There's so much to see in there, if you click on it, you will see what I mean. Looking forward to seeing more of Ingrid's work this term.

Carly Flint

Carly Flint has shown through her beautiful drawings that she has a keen eye for detail and colour. She is willing to challenge herself regularly in her drawing, which is why she has become such a talented artist already. Keep up the drawing practice, Carly...you really have developed a unique and wonderful style for yourself... This cat is a real beauty, I especially love the colour and the spots and the whiskers and the way you have included all the legs, even though it is front on! Well done!

Sian Redle Icefire

What a gorgeous picture by our long-term artist, Sian Redle Icefire! Just by looking at this picture, I already feel that I'm at the beach, sweating under the hot sun, and ready to jump into the sea. A splendid piece, Sian!

Alien picture for Mars by Bridget Johnson

Bridget Johnson is about to turn nine years old. She lives in the Wimmera district of Victoria, and joined the Drawing Time club at the tender age of eight months, when she first discovered her talent for drawing. Bridget  practises her art on a daily basis, which is why she is such an accomplished artist at such a young age.

Rachel Madin

Rachel sent this beautiful picture through just in time for the new 2010 year! Such a fine drawing. Rachel said she copied the female figure in a four stage process, but added more shading for a better effect. She then added the clouds in, using shading again to make them look Indonesian! Fantastic!

Sian Tjia Hennessy

Sian has been a Drawing Time artist for quite a few years now, inspiring the other girls with her quirky sense of humour and individual style of drawing. Unafraid of artistic challenge, criticism, or experimentation, Sian seizes every new blank page with great relish....confident that whatever may materialize from under her industrious pencil, it will be a completely new idea, probably never ever seen before on Earth! I love Sian's surprises...such imagination and natural artistic assuredness is completely delightful in someone of her age ( 9 years old? I'll get back on this one). Check out the banana ear on that creature to the right....fantastic!

Rachel Madin

Rachel Madin, like her sister Rebecca, was greatly inspired by Salvador Dali's Liquid Desire exhibition this year. Every week in Drawing Time, Rachel produces a surrealist masterpiece. She has enough now to publish  her own surrealist coffee table picture book! Look out for more postings of Rachel's art over the next month. Sadly, Rachel and her sister Rebecca will be leaving Drawing Time next year, as they will be attending a different school too far away from Drawing Time....but hopefully we can convince both of them to keep sending us their amazing drawings for this blogsite. Fingers crossed!

Lillian Gutteridge

Lillian is our resident horse expert in Drawing Time, she loves horses so much that she draws nothing else! Her drawings are really beautiful...notice how Lillian attends to detail and composition...and also the care with her colouring...a real inspiration for the other girls around her to dedicate every minute of each session to drawing exactly what you want to draw in the way you want to draw it!

Mia Murdoch Benda

Mia is full of surprises at Drawing Time...every drawing she produces has it's own particular Mia stamp of humour and style....amazing for a six year old. The beautiful pink and orange drawing in this post is titled: Jellybean having a sleep. Look closely, and you can see the little table beside the jelly bean's bed, with spectacles on it! What an imagination!

Yasmine Khayat

Yasmine is a dedicated artist, focusing mainly on drawing the female form, paying much attention also to the facial details. She is a very enthusiastic artist, she enjoys using reference books for guidance, and is not afraid to challenge herself. Yasmine has only just finished Grade Prep at school... her drawing skills are amazing for someone so young. She doesn't miss much, she has a real eye for detail.

Emily Hodgson

Emily Hodgson has been a Drawing Time artist for a long time now, and her own unique style has unfolded over that time. Below is a lovely drawing taken from Emily's "Wildflowers" series, and on the left is her famous contemporary cat masterpiece! Emily challenges herself in every session to find new ways of seeing and drawing. The girls like me to tell them a story every week, and Emily actually illustrates the story in real time as it's being told! At the end of the story, she shows me how the story looks on paper!

Grace Clemens

These two stunning masterpieces were drawn by Grace Clemens in the last month.

 Grace is only 8 years oldl - astonishing!
