Children's art and my own art

Today and yesterday my daughter and her friend and I worked on different paintings and objects. 
I'd like to show you what my daughter and her friend have worked with: a sculpture with an owl carrying an ice-cone and a snail


My daughter has prepared a canvas for further work:


And the two girls painted over two portraits I have done earlier, and which I didn't want to keep:




Do you remember I told you about the face in the world? It is quite a long time ago a group of people from Ayala Art's 29 Faces group started the project. You can see two posts about it here and here. Today I completed one of the portraits. I collaged the blouse and added some of the background colour. The blouse is a drawing of shells with coloured pencils, on top of which I glued rice paper with some light blue water colour inc. She will be sent to Audrey in the US very soon!


I also did this little painting, which my daughter already has hung in her room. She said she liked it as it was, though I wasn't really finished!!! :D 


Below I made use of an idea another artist shared on Facebook. She always uses a canvas as a palette when she works on a painting. That is what I have started doing. Below you can see one of those canvases. As my supply of acrylic is limited to a few colours including the primary colours, I often use those in my paintings and mix the colours as I need them.


And finally a canvas on which I used different materials acrylic, pastels, water colour. I want to give it away and would like to hear some opinions from you.
