New and Improved!

Just when I thought it was safe to use my color wheel, my instructor passed by and noticed the same thing I had noticed: the red-to-orange sections looked too much alike. Back to the color mixing palette. In the end, my instructor sat down and in a few minutes corrected the reds and oranges. So now I have a color wheel I can use as a reference. (Even a couple of the greens received a touch-up.)

Before, with reds and oranges that looked too red or too orange

I have a few more sessions and then I’m taking a break from going to art class. I’ll see what I can do on my own for a while.

Deer Skull, Sketch 031

A sketch of deer head with antlers (eight points)

I didn’t proportion it correctly and so the snout is a bit shorter than it should be. I’ll sketch this again to try to get the proportions right.

Deer skull with antlers, eight points

Eight points

Hubby found this skull in the pasture where he trains the dogs. The deer died of natural (but unknown) causes.

(My “art studio” is a couple of towels draped over a dining room chair.)
