Jacob’s Watercolors

Now that school has started back up, so has Jacob with his art classes.  He sooo enjoys art!  I enjoy picking him up and having that one on one time with him.  He really wants to go to BYU and study animation.  Pixar hires “a lot” of BYU’s graduates.

Here is Jacob’s stiple drawing.  Stiple drawing is basically a ton of dots that eventually create a picture.  This was Jake’s least favorite.  He says that it just takes too long.

He is loving watercolors!  I never knew how they did transfers until Jacob showed me.  You first draw your picture.  Then you turn the picture over and completely shade the back with a certain # pencil.  Then you turn your picture back over and lay it on your canvas.  You trace over your original lines and the shading underneath acts as a carbon copy.  Here are two of his last watercolors.  The flower is soooo pretty.  These pictures really don’t do his art justice.  I’m excited to frame this flower and put up.

I wish these pictures were better.  He just amazes me!  Wouldn’t that be so fun if he could work for Pixar and create characters for them?!?
