Course work: A day of thunderstorms kept me mostly confined to the house. I did a four-part drawing of the large willow oak (43 meter spread) that dominates our view to the south, though I needed binoculars to see some of the branch details. Leaf detail was obtained from a smaller tree immediately adjacent to the house, at the expense of getting somewhat wet.
NOTE: I think I misunderstood the instructions for this series of drawings and have made three supplemental drawings on June 9 & 10 as corrections.

Personal sketchbook work: A drawing of a reproduction of the head of the Egyptian god Bastet, done with marker and worked over with colored pencil. (This could be considered part of the statue drawing work, I suppose). The combination of techniques worked fairly well.
An eight-minute figure sketch from life, with a Conté pencil.
Total time: 1 hour 47 minutes
