Homework: Drawing, Color-mixing

We had too much homework this weekend, and while I worked on it, I was only able to get some of each piece done in between grading. The first assignment was to do 2 drawings of still life at home. I managed one, which probably had too much in it, but I like how it turned out.

Second assignment was to start mixing colors to make matches to items we find. The hard part of this will be finding samples as he has limited us to 3 of any one kind of sample, for a total of 20. My start is nail polish. The top is my colors and the bottom the nail polish. I may have to to-do 2 of these now that they are dry.

The third assignment was to gesso a page in our sketchbook and draw two different angles of our little white cubes. From there, we are to use monochromatic scale from a primary color to paint the values. I managed to do things backward. I drew my cube before I gessoed, so will have to re-read the cubes before I can paint.

I am not afraid to say that this is a LOT of homework for someone who is just a student, but for a full-time professor, this is bordering on ludicrous.  I am still questioning why I chose to take this class this semester, of all that I could have chosen. However, I am still not yet ready to give up.
