Mount Vernon High School Reunion Part 2

 

Life Drawing at the Tacoma Art Museum

 

Last Thursday I went to a life drawing session at the Tacoma Art Museum. First time in 7 years and I had forgotten how much fun it could be. Each pose was 10 minutes long and I scribbled as fast as I could using pencil and paper. Then when I got home I did a digital transfer and colored it in. I look forward to future classes. 

Value Study

I am working on a value study today.

This is from a photograph I took while biking along  the Canal du Midi in 2012. I don't know if I am going to try to do this in color. For now, black and white feels daunting enough.

 

Still life of three pears watching the lunar eclipse.

Yesterday during out weekly painting session via FaceTime, Colette wanted to paint food. I chose pears and she chose gingerbread men. These are always my favorite painting sessions.

She is going to make a Christmas card for her crazy Uncle Muck with this one.

And here is her color challenge. She wanted to use every color from her mom's 85 comic marker color set to make this. Quite a challenge! I think she knocked this one out of the park!

Feels like High School All Over Again
