It's a love-hate thing with these challenges. I really am being challenged but I also notice that I balk at the ones I don't like or can't think of something to draw. So I don't work as hard as I should. Each time I do one if these I learn something. It may be as little as observing my mistakes, or the lack of effort, but I also see where I really need/want to work on. Like shadows, perspective, highlights.
Barbara's paintings are a little like art instruction. I see in her paintings what I left out in mine, not knowing any better. Instead of being intimidated, I think instead, that I'll shut off that evil voice and focus on what I can learn from her.
And I really want to make this something I'm not having to GET to. It's an art lesson.
