Art Classes

I started a basic drawing class and also a painting class the first week of January. These are the result of this week's efforts.

The drawn still life is just a rough draft, done in charcoal. We will be continuing to work on it. Photo is just a bit blurry. I had a lot of difficulty with the pitcher. I just couldn't seem to get the handle on it oriented properly, but I think it's pretty good now :)


I am pleased with this fruit painting from last night. I wish the pear were prettier, but in real life it just wasn't a very pretty plastic pear. At least it makes the lemon shine nicely.

Overall, for someone who is not comfortable with realism, I'm pretty happy with my results! I think it's also good for me to push my boundaries like this. I think it will help my abstract painting immensely.
