Canadian artist and mother
Ruth Oosterman
started collaborating with her 2-year-old daughter Eve earlier this
year. Ruth takes Eve’s doodles and adds watercolors to them, turning the
collaborative works of art into beautiful paintings. She posts the
results on her blog,
The Mischievous Mommy and also posts timelapses on
YouTube.
Ruth is adamant that this is a collaborative effort and that Eve has
full say if she doesn’t want her mother to paint over her sketches. (

I especially love this first one:
 |
| The Lady and The Fox |
 |
| The Great Owl |
 |
| The Elephant King |
 |
| A Bookworm's Dream |
 |
| Evetime Lapse |
These kinds of things, making beautiful art from a kid's sketchy artwork, fascinate me. What talent! I'm a frustrated artist- some day I'm going to be a painter. When I'm old, maybe...
From me and Katie, have great Wordless Wednesday, everyone!
I wouldn't wait too long to start! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's okay, I plan to live - well - until 105 years old. Lots of things on the agenda! :)
DeleteGet started.....call them you practice sketches from your early phase!
DeleteThose are really neat!! Go ahead, start painting. It is fun. I do it sometimes, in fact, I am getting itchy to start another painting.
ReplyDeleteSo that means that we get to see your sketches next week?
ReplyDeleteI promise if I ever DO start, I'll post them. :)
DeleteThose are just wonderful... such imagination!!! Know I would not have seen those things in the doodles....
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I agree you should start painting now even though you have quite a few years to go before you're old. Don't hold the creativity in if you can express it now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a talent!
ReplyDeleteYou might want to give Zentangles a try. All you need is pen and paper.
ReplyDeleteWhy not now? My Mom took up painting again when she was...well, getting up there. It has become an absolutely essential part of her every-day life
ReplyDeleteHow about turning Katie's pawprints into art. You could paint her paws & have her walk on the paper, then you take it from there. Becki
