Person in a Pear

During this winter session of The Garage School of Art we are working on Composition and the figure. In the first week we had to tone a piece of paper with graphite, sketch a pear, and then go home and draw a portrait of ourselves within the shape of the pear. Last week we were asked to complete the same assignment using watercolor or acrylic. I must say - it was an intriguing assignment - although my kids thought it was weird that I was sitting on the hamper in the bathroom drawing a picture of myself in front of the mirror. Valerie had told us to close the door when we did this - I guess that is why!!! I used my New YARKA watercolors that Santa gave me for Christmas. The colors are yummy.
