Here are some relatively simple sketches for practice. The first is of a turnip.

Demonstration Painting
My painting this week looks like it was done on grey paper. It wasn't. The paper was white. Unfortunately, when I scanned the painting in, the horseradish in the background came out so faint that I needed to enhance the image many times to get it to show up. The process had the unwanted side effect of darkening the appearance of the paper. I opted to go with this painting rather than try to experiment with another that would scan better.
