pumpkins 11 x 14 oil


It is that time of year again. I love to paint pumpkins. The colors are so fun to paint. I plan on doing more of these. I have started going downtown to an open draw with a nude model. I am pretty rusty but it is so fun. Hopefully I will have some drawings to post on here. I start a painting class downtown this week too. A figure painting class. I am nervous. I met the teacher and her way of painting is very different from mine. After painting one way with one color palette for so many years it may be hard to do it differently but I will try. I tried to think of a way to describe how odd it will feel and the only thing I can think of is it will be as if someone is telling me I have to write left handed for a while. wish me luck.
