Course work: Work continues on selection of objects for the still life. I did a graphite drawing of a large conch shell (probably not to be included: the texture is interesting, but the color is much the same as the skull…too much white!). I then did a drawing of a dark volcanic stone with graphite, marker, and pastel: this has enough texture to consider inclusion. A third drawing was of a small oak gall, which also has enough texture and size difference from other objects to be worth considering. I need to get more color in, and this may prove a challenge in mid-winter.
