Pears and chairs

I am continuing on with some of my homework for the Liz Steel class.  I took myself out for coffee the other day and drew some of the chairs that were in the coffee shop.  I also drew my coffee and did a small architectural drawing, but you'll have to take my word for that!!  I am finding the perspective concept a bit of a challenge but I am willing to persevere...sort of.   I'll let you know when I get one that's even mildly post-worthy!!!



In the meantime, I ordered some watercolour cards from Dick Blick (thanks Susan!!) and have started to try my hand at some more pears.  It's quite a nice paper, from Fabriano, and I think it'll be fun to try out various subjects.  I also got the envelopes to go with them so I'll be able to make some more gift sets for future giving.  And learning in the meantime.  How's that for a good deal!!!




And yup, I know it looks like the same pear three times, but really, is it???  I'm having fun playing with my palette colours.

It's New Year's Eve tonight.  It'll be super quiet for me and I am usually asleep well before midnight. But tomorrow it all starts afresh.

Wishing you all a healthy and happy new year.
I'll be back......

      Thanks Margaret. Indeed, the new year is like a first page in a brand new sketchbook. And I suppose it gets finished whether we paint in it or not....I prefer to paint!!! Happy new year.
