clark colorings: pirate at sea

 Since Henry runs amok with crayons when left on his own, all creative endeavors are strictly supervised and have the artist contained within his booster seat. Color time becomes creative togetherness time. Usually Henry tells us what he wants us to draw and then we comply and add our own embellishments. The above story goes as follows.

Henry wanted a pirate, so naturally I drew a ship with a pirate. The wavy sea was blue and bright and the sun shone orange. The pirate climbed up to the crow's nest to scout the sea when all of a sudden the waves were rocked by the appearance of a monstrous serpent (Steve's addition). Upon seeing the serpent, the pirate draws his sword but is soon no match for the fiery spray of the beast's breath and the crashing blow of his barbed tail.

Coloring is lots of fun. More to come...

The sea serpent is great! I love coloring with kids, but sometimes I get so focused on good color combinations, technique etc. that I think I start turning out stressed out coloring perfectionists!
