From pears to apples

Still working on Jane's first lesson... here's my second painting on the awesome hot press watercolor paper (5" x 7")!

I can't express my love of this paper enough.  I really feel like I know what I'm doing using this stuff.  Thanks for everyone's reply to my last post.  I've been feeling like I'm improving (or even if I'm not, I feel more confident) and it's nice to get some confirmation from others on the subject.  I'm glad I found EDM at the beginning of my art "career"- it's kinda cool to have people watch me get better besides myself.

Well I'm off to gather leaves for our lesson on greens!
