Here is the video where I demonstrate the contour line assignment. You can watch it whenever you need help in understanding the assignment.

00:21 Time Lapse Video #2

This is a video where I complete adding the color to my still life drawing. If you decide to try this, you can do it with a smart phone which has the time lapse feature, or an iPad, as I did. Try it, it is really fun to watch once you're done! I know how much it helps you when I demonstrate lessons, so I will try to do this as much as I can. One of the things I learned when I did this is that I was unable to pause. There may be a way, so I will continue to experiment. Making mistakes and learning from them is a sign that you are pushing yourself. Obviously, this applies to me as well!

00:38 Time Lapse Video #1- Still Life

In this video, I am adding color to the still life which I drew in the earlier video. Please note that I am using several shades of both red and green. Mixing different shades of the same hue, or color, will add dimension and interest to your drawing. Be adventurous with your use of color, as I have always encouraged you to do. For the darker shadows I used a medium-dark blue. Be aware of the edges of everything so your drawing is clear and sharp. I tried to pause and resume, which didn't work, so, to see the rest, look at Still Life Time lapse #2. You can use any colored medium you wish, such as crayons, watercolors, pastels or markers.
