Drawing and painting course

I have been looking back through the work I have done at the local college's drawing and painting class. I have been getting to grips with basics like colour mixing, and I think one of the lessons I am learning is to have fun!

Here are some of the things I have done so far:
Quite a bit of colour mixing, including these colour wheels.
Pastel drawings of fruit:
Watercolour painting:
Pen and watercolour on tissue paper:

Acrylic paints on a piece of hardboard covered in Modroc:

    These look really interesting Karen- I like the bottles - they are not easy to do and you have captured them really well. Keep having fun!

    Love the pictures, Karen, especially the blue bottles on tissue paper - very textural.
    Cheers, Helen

    Learning to have fun with it is often the hardest lesson to learn, no?=)

    I too love pastels and can do those quite well, esp. pastel pencil. I'd love to be a good watercolourist too, but the day remains far distant, I fear!
