Course work: Corrections on the colored pencil drawing of calla lilies. A pencil sketch of a group of potted calla lilies, followed by a superimposed marker drawing, on 11 x 14” (279 x356mm) marker paper. Not happy with result, but I’ve never done anything with markers that I liked. I’ll try working over it with some colored pencil tomorrow.

(This is a reasonably comprehensive and fairly readable book of art history. It deserves to be read slowly, as I have read it, in order to really appreciate it. One can find minor flaws, e.g. the author devotes three pages to Cezanne and less than one to the entire Pre-Raphaelite movement, but if I had to recommend to a serious, interested reader a single book on art history, it would be this one.)
Personal Sketchbook work: A poor partial drawing of a two-week-old donkey.
