Last week, Robbi painted a mermaid.
The original is currently on the auction blocks, but the painting above was only a small part of Robbi’s intention when making this drawing. The other plan was to create a coloring sheet that kids could download, print out, and magnificently decorate.
The original, which may be downloaded here, hint, hint, looks like this:
But when placed in the expert hands of Bobbledy Club member Calli R., it looks like this.
We have a gallery of mermaids hanging in the hallway. Because, you see, you may download as many as you like. Why not make a mermaid army. A friendly one, of course. The sort of army that distributes attractive seashells by the shoreline on sunny afternoons.
Robbi messed up her first attempt at making the pen and ink version of the mermaid for the auction, and so she started over, leaving one lucky kid with the ultimate drawing sheet.
Alden decided to take advantage of the opportunity. She is a patient artist, and a careful one.
Which is not to say she doesn’t enjoy herself in the process.
Here is her mermaid. Perhaps not quite as studied and precise as Robbi’s but still not bad, I think. If it were available for auction, I think I’d bid. But apparently, she’s keeping it for her private collection.
If you know a kid who might enjoy coloring a mermaid, here’s the download link again.
But keep in mind that there are other coloring pages and fun stuff to make and do on our ACTIVITIES page.
Download. Draw. And then let us see what you made. Making art is great. But the best part is sharing it with others.
