How a Prickly Cactus Gives Me the Sweetest Sentiment
One of my favorite lessons of all time is about to be drawn in Young Rembrandts classrooms all across the country. It’s called – Cacti. 
You’ve heard me talk about this lesson before. My son Matt’s drawing, (pictured here) done many years ago, is still a personal favorite and hangs in my home and office.
Young Rembrandts students should be completing this piece sometime in the VERY near future so keep an eye out when they come home with their version of this masterpiece. This particular lesson requires a tremendous amount of time, focus and patience, especially when drawing, coloring and adding so many teeny tiny spines all over the cacti. We hope you will take special notice and appreciate your child’s creativity and hard work.

A favorite coloring and drawing subject were princesses, which often led to me providing the drawings they wanted to color.
It’s time to draw castles, crowns, princesses and sparkly jewels. We’ve bundled lots of new How to Draw videos into our latest eBook, Princesses & Enchanted Treasures!
That’s good because time spent doing art is time spent exploring and sharing one’s own imagination. But there are times that even artists want to be part of a group. They want to be on a team. Art class is a great place to gather and enjoy fellow art lovers, but how can they tell the world – they’re on the art team? 
It seems her first grade teacher had some concerns about her reading and wanted to meet with Lanie’s mom and dad. They talked as a family about what the stumbling block might be and remembered our conversations about visual learners. Lanie is a visual learner and she loves to draw. She loves to draw anywhere, anytime, all the time. She takes weekly Young Rembrandts classes at her elementary school. Lanie is a visual learner – but not because she loves art. She’s a visual learner because that is how her brain is wired.
