Sara’s Snowbunnies

 Here’s a 5 x7 direct sketch and an 8x10 from another sketch I did. The photo has a lot of interesting shadows on the clothes as well as these cute little faces. I’m just using raw sienna, a couple of blues and quid rose and a little winsor red.

Here’s last week’s painting. I like it, but I lost a little of the high contrast of the light thru the window. I kept confusing myself once I took the mask off and realized I had to paint the plants. I should have painted areas darker when I still had the mask on. Really, it was very confusing to me....

When the snow melted I realized large branches had broken off my azalea out front. So I brought them in and stuck them in water. I doubt anything will happen with them. But it’s like having little trees to sketch in the house.
