Course Work: Continued work on Assignment 1, Section 5 (Still Life), p 24. Decided that the drawing I was working on was not progressing well because of a mad match between the paper surface and the medium. Located some charcoal paper, trimmed it to A3 size, and started again, though I got little done other than drawing in the ellipse for the plate.
