| I worked some on the pears and on the leaves. It has of course more to go. In discussing the leaves we talked about how in a shadowed area it helps to gradate the shadow or have areas of lighter value within the shadow, even if in the picture it shows it as a solid dark. It makes it more interesting and works better for the piece. I also added some red to the greens. |

| I added more texture to the hat, worked a little with white on the collar and front of the shirt, worked on the beard blending it into the face, and I worked on the highlights and shadows of the face. This photo has a glare on the shadow under the hat. If I can get a better photo I will re post it. Mixed medias are some of my more difficult pieces to photograph. |

| This is the piece that started as an ink wash (india ink, water, and a brush). I then worked on the pen & ink (black and white pens), and then I tinted it with watercolor. Once I get all the 'wet' media done I might work with colored pencil on top if it is needed (it might not be needed). |
