anyone used it?

we are unschoolers, and initially i was influenced by waldorf approach to art. so we started with one or two primary color, rounded edges, free access, no coloring books...and...ada was never interested in drawing or painting, so i left it at that.
about a year ago she discovered a coloring book, and ever since she became more and more interested in drawing and sometimes painting, and recently realised that she could "lean by watching mama, and try several times before succeeding"
which was a huge deal for her.
so she was actually interested to 'learn' (a new verb in her vocab) to draw a whale, and she watched me attempt it myself
, and yesterday came up with a new method, and taught me -- starting with the mouth and the eye, rather than with the body.
so i started thinking that she might be interested in the method, but i guess i am still conflicted about actually sitting down with her with something like 'lessons'
... and also thinking whether the drawing should come more naturally, with her just drawing...
right now she is drawing all day, mostly whales
: -- we have literally hundreds of cut out whale that she drew, colored, and cut out, and i finally learned to distinguish the humpbacks from the bowheads, and belugas from the spermwhales.
