The candle came with it.
National Cupcake Day was February 29th and my online sketch/watercolor instructor challenged her students to celebrate it.
Come With Me, Cupcake!

Sepia Tones
Cee’s Photo Challenge for this week is Sepia Tones Only. This is my first effort at changing a color photograph to sepia tones. Thank goodness for the Internet because I would never have figured out how to do it just by roaming around the photo editing software.
Last Lesson
Lesson 6 of my online sketch and watercolor class is the last lesson. The subject: machine-made objects. This turned out to be difficult for me to choose an object, as I kept wandering around the house, rejecting most items “too hard to draw” (this included many glass objects).
The ceramic cat was a gift from a friend many years ago. Usually the objects I sketch and watercolor are larger than my sketch; not this time. The watercolor paper is 5×7 inches.

Not My Shoe
Lesson 5 of my online sketch and watercolor class covers Shoes. Only in my closet, all I could see were black shoes, brown shoes, grey shoes, and running shoes so dusty the original bright colors were obscured. Hubby’s shoes weren’t any more exciting than mine.
I actually shopped at Goodwill just for this lesson. I kept in mind shape, texture, and color; I wasn’t interested in the shoe size. While I was there I thought maybe I could find some colorful cowboy boots.
No. No cowboy boots at all. Curses! Foiled again.
The subject.
The warm up exercise. A continuous line drawing with the Tombow pen where I discovered I have a heavy hand leading to thick, thick lines.
Let’s just say that New York won’t be calling me to illustrate their new shoe line for next year.
It's a long story ...
