Like apples? Yep, I love them but that’s not the theme of this post. Actually, a while back I decided to leave my comfort zone for trying to draw and use color....since I always get most concerned with creating a masterpiece that would belong in a museum’s permanent collection....and that’s way too much pressure! Anyway, I wanted to give myself a break, despite my tendencies to perfect, to just relax and enroll in an online colored pencil class. Of course, I incorrectly also thought that we wouldn’t have to draw but rather would just practice techniques using orbs. Now that thought seems so silly as it’s far from the truth. Nevertheless, I engaged in the process, despite the drawing requirements, and have enjoyed the experience....although I initially resisted when in the 2nd class we were assigned 4 beautiful flowers as our homework. And, after trying to draw roses and dahlias, this apple simply is “good enough.”
