I recently updated my Children’s Art Class binder for the classes I taught from 1993 to 1996 at The Silk Purse in West Vancouver. The gallery and the studio are right on the beach.
Eric Setticasi Seascape 1993
Eric was 14 when he drew Seascape—The Silk Purse is on the left. The students drew and painted in the studio and plein air on the beach.
Here are three very young students’ work from these classes.
Costa Dimakis Sail Boat 1995
Costa was six when he painted Sail Boat and this is what he chose to paint. He also painted a gun boat.
Annick Foukal Pansies with Maui 1994
Annick was seven when she painted Pansies with Maui. She painted the still life of pansies that I set up and drew my cat who came along that day to the studio. I love the way she has combined the still life with Maui under the table.
Edward Wong Primula on Pink Table 1996
Edward was seven when he painted Primula on Pink Table. He was a fearless painter with a lovely artistic sense.
