Advanced Techniques Workshop, Day 2

I'm actually a day behind with my posting.  Today is Day #3, but I'm lagging considerably in energy & will have to catch up at the end.  So Day #2 was another great day.  The first part of the morning was spent watching Susan bring her demo of the previous day to completion using brush techniques.  This is a photo of the completed demo.  It is only a "color study" & not a "painting".  (And this is why she's the instructor & I'm the student)!



For Day #2 I decided to paint a peach.  I'm being a little tentative, but just not feeling ready to advance to a flower quite yet.  Below is a photo of the finished peach.  I split the support in half & painted yesterday's pear on one half & today's peach on the other half.


I did a little more "mooshing" on the peach - didn't get quite the distinct brush strokes I was going for.
