It occurred to me that I have done an awful lot of egg drawings and paintings. Not quite sure why. It is a subject I use in my drawing classes<\/a> quite frequently and I tell my students that if they can draw an egg, they can draw anything. It is like a little creature, a tiny model \u2013 and symbolic<\/a> of so much: new life, fertility, possibilities … It is the perfect shape to to practice tone and get the 3-D effect. Some love this exercise; some will never look at an egg again!<\/span><\/p>\n

In any case, I still love drawing and painting them and, as it is Easter, I thought this would be a good time to share them with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, I have been away from this blog for a while but I am back now and will be sharing lots of art, ideas, events and things to do; I\u2019ll introduce you to our teachers at the school<\/a> and their work and post some of their tips and techniques for you to learn from and enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n

So Happy Spring! Here in Montreal it is still a bit chilly for an Easter Egg Hunt, so the following pictures will have to do!<\/span><\/p>\n
