Still-Life 101

Finally my first painting class! On the first day we did these black and white paintings. I took an oil painting class in Palo Alto before going to school, so these seemed pretty simple. But I really like this incremental approach they have. It's like little baby steps, each one teaching something new and building on the previous. It's the way I prefer to learn.

I think my shapes turned out well, but the paintings are too light. Same thing with my charcoal drawings. :) Hopefully it will correct itself like the charcoal did. The main thing is that this was insanely fun! I know I made the right choice majoring in painting.
