Mary took the Pencil workshop as well as some of our beginning watercolor workshops. I'm living proof if anyone is that this method of instruction is the best thing since Pepsi Cola. She's granted ArmChairPaintClasses permission to put her homework lessons as well as some personal pencil studies online for new students to see what she has accomplished.
Images are large.
These were Mary's lessons which were sent to the instructor. Feedback was sent back with the lessons pinpointing specific areas. Already, you've got the beginnings of some great highlights. That shiny spot in C is very good and it shows up especially well because the surrounding metal is so dark. You want B to stand out the same way as well.
