Beginner class

I have completed a beginners' class with some pieces I am rather proud of, although I always do something wrong.  I need not point out my errors!

Sweetheart Cabbage April 2012

Sweetheart cabbage in coloured pencil over watercolour.                                        Never thought I could get excited about a cabbage!  Not sure about it on the wall though.            

Berry Swirl June 2012

Berry Swirl in coloured pencils.

I loved doing this - the intensity of the colours and the luscious fruit.  In fact I followed it with two more pieces.  The blackberries were from Mexico I am ashamed to say. It was too early in the season for local ones.  They were huge.

Summer pudding July 2012

Berry Box August 2012

One observation was that the blueberries look like buttons.  Not sure about the raspberries in Berry Box either - a bit flat.  Look as if they have been frozen first.
