Not really happy with the carnation :(

Rose


























Rose sketch from life. I forgot to save the highlights on the rose petals, but added gouache white later to the highlights.

Milk and cookies



















Inspired by Lillian Bell's photo. This is my first still-life in acrylic. I found out acrylic is more forgiving than watercolors and it is so much fun!
I will have to give a try to acrylic paint more often and I did enjoy it a lot on this blizzard day.
