Student Refresher

It has been a great week having all my students back for a new year of fun! Last week the adult class did a still life watercolor of pears in a basket. This is my demo about 10x10 inches.









The student age class did some drawing refreshers. I wanted to make sure they could still see shapes, shading and highlights. They started with contour drawings and moved to shading & highlighting.

And today the adults did the
drawing refresher (contour, value, shading...) and a lemon painting (about 7x10 inches).
It is going to be a good year!

Theyre gorgeous! The colours are fantastic on the lemons and the pears, very nice shadows

Hi Maria,
Nice fruit! Sounds like the classes are going great. I'm planning on going to Bill Vrscak's drawing weekend at Touchstone. Any interest? It's Oct 2-4. Sounds like you did a lot of traveling this summer!
