Life Painting

I started life painting yesterday with a new teacher.  She taught us a lot already.  We did four paintings on paper using one colour and white.  The first one below is just one colour and the white of the page.  Then we added a mid-tone.  The third painting shows how much information can be communicated only with brush stroke.  What a concept!  To pay attention to each stroke of the brush!  Of course it makes sense now I think about it.
