How to Make Oatmeal Pancakes

Here are easy step-by-step illustrations to make pancakes from scratch. Whole wheat flour can be used instead of white to make them even more nutritious. The button book is available here.

I posted this a couple days ago, but now that I see that the prompt for IF is "fluid" the teacup seems like a perfect fit, especially since I am on my second cup of morning coffee. Happy Friday to everyone!

I worked on this little pastel painting yesterday and scanned the images into my computer at different stages as I was working. Sometimes when I want to get a different perspective on how something is progressing I will look at it in the mirror or scan it into the computer. When I finish it's interesting to go back and see it during the different stages. For this I worked on a sheet of cinnamon Mi-Teintes paper using the smoother side. I first did the little drawing in my sketchbook and then drew the cup on the colored paper with a pastel pencil. I mainly used Sennelier pastels.

Bunny Mask

The prompt for Illustration Friday is "suspense". There is nothing quite so much fun as watching a child put on a mask and costume and wait in "suspense" for their family to guess who is hiding behind the facade.

Mask available at my shop.
