Ellie, being a teenager, likes to do really fast and almost sloppy work sometimes, but she's getting better. I'm not having to help her along. To me, that's one of the signs that she's progressing as an artist.

The hardest part is actually convincing the elephant not to eat the paintbrush. Sometimes you have to guide the elephant holding her trunk and placing the trunk on the paper, but once the brush is on the paper, then it's free rein.
