Autumn & New Art Supplies!

Charcoal, sanguine and white conte on colored paper by Heather Dixon
Autumn is here and art class has begun! All the charms of fall combined with new art supplies makes me smile! This semester I am taking a drawing class at Water Street Art Gallery in Sapulpa. Artist, Gil Adams, is my instructor again. You can see his work at http://www.giladamspaintings.blogspot.com/.
Above is my first still life drawing from the new class. I used charcoal and conte crayons in white and sanguine on colored paper. I really enjoy working with these materials and I intend to "play with them" more throughout the class.
