Still life study in watercolours - orange beet, garlic and a little red beet. Watercolours are hard and not fun and relaxing at this point.Afternoon sun and shadows in the South Park. Our temperatures are all over the map. We woke up with -29°C. It is -15°C at present. Tomorrow’s high is 1 above. Figure.Morning skies in the North Park today.Multi tasking. Cooking pumpkins, making kimchi and making a mess in the kitchen.What I did in class this morning - still life. Learning the nuances of an apple, red, reflections and the brush with water. I felt a bit testy after the class.This morning’s skies while we were skiing.Practice does make for better. My watercolour effort today. Many hours of study and practice needed. Photo reference @gbmoo.Doing some homework for my art class. Not in love with watercolours yet. Very hard to control. I want to work it like acrylics. Enough for today. It’s not like I can flunk.Skiing in the North Park today. I managed to get over all 3 slopes without mishap today. I looked behind me and caught the guy coming over my nemesis with ease. Don’t you just hate that? Well, a few more years of practice and I can probably do it, too. A grey day. The sun looks luke warm.A late afternoon ski. A little windy with drifting snow. I love the setting sun. I didn’t mind setting a new track again. It came out better than the previous one. I did my 4 laps around the familiar terrain oof the South Park.Instagram
