Day 1 of painting (1/10/12)

The first day of painting went rather well. We all positioned ourselves around the room to where we could  see the still-life. From my angle, the still-life looked like this:

We started out our paintings with a wash of "burnt sienna" and roughly sketched out the placement of the objects in the still-life.

The next step was to sketch the outside edges of the objects. I have to admit that I did not get as much done as I would have liked to, but there will be plenty of time to work.

I'm looking forward to day two. Hopefully I will be able to get more work done.
