I'm Back!

Hope you all enjoyed your holidays! I had a long break to relax from all the hard work at school. I am now ready to get back to drawing! First day of drawing class we were told to get some new pastels. I didn't know what my teacher meant. Why would I have to buy new pastels for this class? Well she said nupastels. Nupastels are hard pastels. We had to use the color red and draw the still life with its monochromatic colors. To help my teacher put a red light on to the still life. This was just to practice using the nupastels and to slowly introduce us to color. I missed using color!!! Here is the still life....
and this is my drawing...
