That's so great to hear - i have to say, it felt very freeing and invigorating to do.

I love how they look side by side. Like a fall to winter color change.

Lovely start! These look about like mine when I started painting 8 months ago. I have come a long way thanks to short, daily tutorials, including lots from Van Leuven. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Took a picture before I added my little white highlights back with my paint pen.

This was my first time painting on Meeden paper and I really liked it.

Updated with pt 2 of the tutorial - background.

Oh - I definitely don't plan to eat them! Just had fun painting them, then chucked them outside.
