This past week, I completed a 4-week drawing class. The final lesson involved sketching from life. This is my rendering of a pint of grapes sitting on a book with drapery over top and in the backdrop.

When we had finished our drawings, the teacher asked us to add one or two colors with pastels or pencil. I chose the yellow to highlight the container, and purple to pick out a few luscious grapes.
This lesson was so fun and relaxing. It made me wonder why I don’t stick with graphite instead of beating myself up with watercolor painting.
