I used them in my 2-D Design class and have hoarded the remaining papers (quite a few, in a full range of hues) all these years. I'd forgotten about them until I read your post just now.

A rectangle would have been so boring...<br />I really like that you offset the subject to the left, a pleasant amount.<br />That's a great drawing table :)<br /><br />On the other hand, I was a bit bothered by the fact that the bean was solid color, not half-black. Of course this was an early bean and, once I realized that, I decided that's just fine; the beans just hadn't developed dark areas yet.<br />What was bothering me a lot more was: why is the light shining in the beans eyes instead of at the drawing he's producing? I asked JJA that and his reply was that I'm incorrectly assuming the purpose of that light. It's a grow light; it's there to provide the bean necessary UV, not to illuminate the drawing. Okay, I can accept that.<br /><br />I've been developing a number of questions and talking with J, who told me to ask you some time. So you can expect a short list from me one of these days. Just not right now.<br /><br />Have fun!<br /><br />--HHamachisn'thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11327912628348154406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-84752863727061190682010-02-28T23:09:36.756-08:002010-02-28T23:09:36.756-08:00So...what are the chances of this *fantabulous* pi...So...what are the chances of this *fantabulous* piece ever being offered for sale or charity auction?<br /><br />PamInLAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-4835914790682787242010-02-28T09:58:43.937-08:002010-02-28T09:58:43.937-08:00It's really beautiful.
