Elva Hurst is an excellent chalk artist. Her master pieces of paintings, drawings, and chalking are made and displayed in her Barnyard Art Studio.
We attended a Chalk Talk meeting a few years ago, and had such a fun time that my Mom thought it would be nice to have one again with the homeschoolers club.
For about an hour we sat spellbound watching Elva create her masterpiece to a recorded story and music. This is the finished product.
Elva has a row of lights above her easel. When the black light is shining you can see a sparrow in "A Hand" in the sun, as she calls this chalk art 'All Gods Creatures'.
She has fluorescent chalk to help create special effects as well.
Afterwards Elva taught us about drawing with colored pencils, and all the tips and tricks that come with it!
She gave us a very basic outline of a horse and then instructed us on shading.
These are some of the finished products.
Some of her very beautiful art work.
Feel free to visit elvaschalkart.com if you would like to know more about Elva.
She has a very busy traveling schedule so you might want to check her times before visiting.
