Today’s watercolor experiment:
Today I gave my grandson, Will a drawing lesson. Being 2.5 years old, it didn’t take long for him to loosen up. At first he just scribbled in one corner of the paper, but when I showed him how to draw a big circle, he took to it like a duck to water.
Below is his first drawing on watercolor paper:
Collaboration Part 1- Will’s Drawing
9″x12″ 140# Cold Pressed Watercolor Block
I don’t think Will quite understood the idea of collaboration, but I was sure he wouldn’t object to my addition to his masterpiece. He inspired me to loosen up a bit also. Below is the result of our collaboration.
Collaboration Part 2- Will’s Drawing, My Painting
9″x12″ 140# Cold Pressed Watercolor Block
I am without my normal copy stand. The pictures were taken under different lighting conditions, thus the difference in quality.
Fantastic! Absolutely love it
Thank you, Magny! I’ll pass the word on to Will!

I’m using Marlene Dumas for my next self-portrait series, and she did some paintings that her daughter then drew over. Of course her daughter was older, but I like the collaborative adult-child idea. Good job on both ends! (K)
Looking forward to seeing them. Dumas’s work looks interesting.
Thanks, William will be happy to hear that you liked his work!
