These pears were so pretty when I brought them home that I tore open the bag and had to paint them. I left them nestled in the bag and decided to paint them for the 20 minute challenge. I set the timer and did a quick sketch. I was amazed at how much I could paint in twenty minutes. I had to blast them with the hairdryer when things got too wet and out of control but when the timer beeped, I was OK with being done.

Pears in a Bag
These pears were so pretty when I brought them home that I tore open the bag and had to paint them. I left them nestled in the bag and decided to paint them for the 20 minute challenge.

Very nice rendering of the pears. I think I'd like to try this challenge, and I mean 'challenge' as I sometimes never know when enough is enough. Good excercise for that problem! You did good!
