Course work: A second preparatory drawing in charcoal, this one on approximately A4 charcoal paper, and lit by diffuse daylight. The viewing angle is different from the first drawing, and I have made some minor changes in position of two of the objects.
Reading and theoretical studies: Continued my investigation of the Fauvists and the Kitchen Sink School, and added a few more examples of each to my study collection. It is interesting to see how artists’ work evolved after they ceased painting in the specific styles of the respective schools with which they are identified.

Pp. 9-36
Sketchbook work: An early-morning sketch of an American red cedar about ten years old, in the midst of one of the growth spurts frequently seen in the species. In a year or two the irregularity and the odd “top-knot” will be overtaken by the rest of the tree, and the silhouette will be much more uniform.
Time today: 1 hour 54 minutes (6h57m)
