Drawing Mice and Remembering Elsie
A step-by-step colored pencil project
The best adventures start in dusty old bookstores. That’s where I found a small book filled with charming birds and mice, drawn in the English countryside when the author was in her 70s. Follow along with me as we meet Elsie Eldridge, a rising star in the 1930s international art world who disappeared into the Welsh moors to paint hedgehogs and damselflies instead.. then draw a field mouse inspired by her unique way of shading fur.
There are four videos and two printables in today’s post. Enjoy!
I just did another search. This time the paperback book came up- prices from $36-40. Still very expensive. You got a very good deal.
I tried to find her In My Garden book on Amazon. I found one and was so excited until I saw the price of $144. Hope you got yours cheaper than that. Needless to say, I passed.
