A Sinhala-language drawing book for young children, compiled by the artist Aruna Naveendra. It sets out simple, teachable methods for drawing and for colouring in, aimed at children who are building the habit of putting pencil to paper regularly rather than at those already working from formal instruction.
Naveendra is an experienced painter, and the material here is shaped for practice: approaches a child can follow and repeat. The emphasis falls on the two activities together — forming a drawing, then colouring it — using techniques pitched at a beginner's hand.
The text is entirely in Sinhala, which international buyers should note before ordering. That said, a drawing manual carries much of its instruction visually, so a parent or teacher without Sinhala may still find the book usable with a child who reads the language, or as a source of exercises. It will suit Sinhala-speaking households abroad looking for children's activity material in the language, and anyone teaching art to young children in Sri Lankan classrooms.
