Ten Strokes

 I often do a "ten stroke" exercise with my class.  This helps with strokes, making decisions about color with determination, keeping things simple, and technique wise, getting comfortable with loading the brush with paint.
The pepper and eggplant are my ten stroke demos, the artichoke is where it started and then goes.

These are the three demos from my Vermont Pastel Workshop in East Montpelier, VT.  What a fabulous time!  Great weather, amazing views and very talented students!
