My first project

So, for Fathers Day, I got a plethora of art supplies. I'm inspired by my wife's mom, who is an outstanding artist. She will teach me. I will blog about what I learn, both on my own, and from my new teacher.

I haven't had any lessons yet, and won't for a couple of weeks, but I am dipping into my new art adventure.

I'm starting off with simple sketching.
My first project is my dog Max. To the left is the sketch, which took me about an hour to do. I simply looked at a picture of him, then drew it.
This was fairly simple. This comes to me really easy and I am loving this so far! Not bad for my first drawing, huh?

I chose to paint Max in watercolor. It took me a couple of hours to paint him. I took my time, wasn't in a hurry and am well on my way to something great! I love my new hobby and am looking forward to painting more!
