This is the reflection I was asking about in the live lesson regarding reflections.
Painted in Acrylics on an 11 x 14 stretched canvas.

Did you submit this for critique? I hope it gets critiqued and some more information on perspective when it’s sort of warped like this. I love this painting!

Thank you, Brenda, I did submit it about a month ago. Looks like there are a lot of new members submitting artwork, maybe it will get critiqued in the future.

I hope so. I started to submit my cat pastel drawing, but decided not to. I’m really looking forward to the new live lesson series. Should be fun.

Brenda, I am looking forward to it too. See you there next Wednesday, my favorite evening of the week!

I have a large set of pretty cheap watercolor pencils that someone gave me. I’m contemplating a new, higher quality set. 
There are just too many brands out there.

Brenda,
I have a cheap set too, that my daughter gave me and they work well. I purchased a while back a set of Faber-Castell Studio colored pencils and they work nicely, I use them together. not that I am a pro at all. I would like to get their Pitt brand or Derwent, but I have to work with the limited funds I have.
I am a art supply hoarder. See you next Wednesday.

I am excited about drawing the Chimp too! I finished my grid, thanks for the help with the math! Now to draw the Chimp. I hope I finish by next Wednesday.
Thanks for the positive input on the painting. The uniqueness is why I chose to give it a try.
See you next Wednesday.

I, too, am an art-supply junkie! My daughter says I have “a problem!” LOL!
I went to Hobby Lobby today to order the mat for my kitty drawing. While there, I picked up a set of 24 Faber-Castell watercolor pencils. I tried them next to the cheaper ones when I got home, and the difference was indescribable. The Faber-Castell went on smooth, and when activated with water they left no paper showing. The cheaper ones were grainy, but the FC’s were smooth and covered completely. I was even able to do a gradient wash with the FC’s. I may give the small set to my granddaughter and get a bigger set for myself if they work well on this chimp project.
THEN I came home and cleaned my studio space. I found a set of 24 Prismacolor student grade watercolor pencils. I have no idea when I got them, but it was obviously a number of years ago. I will try both the FC’s and the Prismacolor and see which ones I like best. I just wonder what else is buried in the nooks and crannies of this room. LOL!
BTW, Teri, there is a vague possibility I’ll be in the Asheville area in September. A group of friends are planning a reunion in the Biltmore section of town. I still haven’t decided if I’m going to go or not, but if I do I would be delighted to get together with you if you were up for it. It’s still really iffy at this point. I don’t know if I can really afford to go or what else might be going on at that time.

Hello Brenda,
I have never had good results with Prismacolor but am not an art snob either (as if I know enough to know what that means!) Are the Prismacolor any cheaper than the FC? I really would like to get the Pitt line of Faber-Castell watercolor pencils. There not that expensive but still a bit out of my range these days.
Please let me know what you think in the comparison.
About Asheville, see what works out and if it happens to be Asheville then depending how I am doing health wise we can see. I have to work it out if it is possible also with my caregiver and yes, it would be wonderful to meet.
