Studio Still Life

Our Assignment "Where I Paint"
This is a continuous line drawing in ink with watercolor

My classes will be working on still lifes over the winter.  I think it is pretty easy to get bored with still life, so I'm trying to make it interesting by mixing things up a little.  We'll be doing contour/continuous line, value patterns,  negative shapes, crosshatching, ink, pencil,  watercolor, various view points .   .   .   . 

 It is snowing like crazy right now  -  great weather to stay inside and sketch and paint.  Are you more productive in the winter, or less productive?  I always think I am going to get so much done, but I get a little lazy thinking I have all this "down time".  I get a lot lazy.

    Oh, forgot to say, I feel like I should have so much time to paint this winter, but the days just get away from me. Thank goodness I have class AND my blog with Gail which keeps me painting some of the time at least.

    Love these bottles and jars. Again, your simple lines and the lovely color. I just ordered another tube of your wonderful yellow-green. I have gone crazy happy with it since you first showed it on your posts. And now I seem to use it all the time-- such a great mixing color, too.
