Sketchbookery Begins

Got around to working on a few things for the class.  I cannot believe that in all the years I have done art of some kind, this is the very first time I ever made a color wheel. I kept dropping my brush, hence the smears here and there!
 

 First blind contour drawing, done in an old calendar book over gesso, so it's pretty pale, hard to draw over gesso.  Of course I did that because I was afraid to start out on my w.c. paper.  Duh!  And the background is so messy, but decided to show anyhow since it is the first time attempt.
 
 
Other blind contours. On the one of the husband I think I may have glanced back at the paper once.  Got a good laugh out of these.
