elementary art lessons: shading and highlighting

Madison (age 9) - Reston VA

Madison is very committed to her art, and puts a lot of time into it. She's even developed a distinctive style of her own. We remember when she started highlighting eyes - a trick she learned from our "anime" decor kit! The shading that makes this bunny appear three dimensional is also especially effective and striking - but we think her two-tone sun is just "the bomb"!

We're very grateful that Madison created this piece just for us (while we were visiting Northern Virginia over Thanksgiving). Did I mention that we don't know a sweeter or more thoughtful kid? Thanks Madison!!!
