Course work: I think the Assignment Three drawing, which finally evolved as a memento mori, incorporating a bottle, a selection of wild daffodils picked at the roadside, and a skull, is at last finished. Media employed include: graphite pencil, brown ink, black ink, markers, colored pencil, water-soluble colored pencil, white pastel, and a small amount of white acrylic paint used to correct an error. The two media used most extensively (marker and water-soluble colored pencil) are those with which I have had the greatest difficulty. I chose not to include oil pastel, because of its inherent incompatibility with water-soluble media. I think that I could probably have produced a better piece of work using a single medium, but I am sure that being required to use more than one resulted in a useful learning experience. I am far behind my originally-planned schedule (which would have had me almost done with Assignment Four now) but given the circumstances, I fail to see how I could have done much better.
