Here's something new! "Steampunk Butterfly" using Koh-I-Noor Gioconda Drawing Kit and Strathmore Paper. You will also need one can of Grumbacher Fixative for use at home.
 
What is Steampunk? A Brief Introduction:
 
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary’s definition of Steampunk: “Science fiction dealing with
 
 
19th-century societies dominated by historical or imagined steam-powered
technology.” The term was originally coined in 1987 by Science Fiction writer J.W.
Jeter.
While that explains the physical aspects of the word, Steampunk has many meanings
depending on who you talk to. It is a multi-faceted aesthetic/art form that has been
progressively getting more popular in mainstream culture since the mid-2000’s.
Steampunk artists typically involve elements such as gears, steam engines, goggles,
brass and wood; Victorian Era design and mad science, as well as an awareness of
 
creators from the 19th Century (Nikola Tesla, H.G. Wells, etc.) into their creations.

So many people tell me they can't draw. I don't believe it. If you want to learn to make drawing like these, join me at 1PM on Monday's. Purchase the drawing set, paper, and fixative once and you will have enough for 20 drawing lessons. Register online at www.michaels.com
