Female figure studies
Gottfried Bammes suggests to do studies using charcoal powder and ...your finger. It's actually a great way to do quick sketches. Never heard of this method before, but I liked it.

Gottfied Bammes book
For quite some time I had a PDF version of this book in German. Had a few failed attempts to translate it. Now it has finally got translated. Bought it on Amazon for less than $40. I think it's a great deal. Tons of material!

Christmas toys
These are Christmas tree toys I bought in a small town in England about 6 years ago. The are all hand made out of wood. Very old fashioned. I love them.
Watercolor and gouache sketches
My sister was cleaning her studio the other day and as a result I've got quite a load of art supplies: water colors,gouache, oil pastel, etc.. I was dying to try gouache.It reminded me time from childhood. My dad had a gouache set and we loved painting with it.It was such fun!

Charlie's drawing
It always amazes me how effortless kids make their drawings. They don't analyze them or 'work' hard, but what comes as a result is never ugly.

Simple Value Plan
Continue assignments from Peggi Kroll-Roberts DVDs. Merged a lot of small shapes to simplify the information.
For value studies I am now using acrylic paint: Titanium white and Raw Umber. There is no particular reason for Raw Umber. I just happen to have only those two colors in acrylic.
The benefits:
- no need to prime canvas
- you can paint on paper
- easy to clean brushes
- no chemicals in the air
