Beginning at the beginning
I'm sure there are a thousand things wrong with this sphere, the one I began in class Wednesday night, but until the instructor points to specific areas I won't know what to do next. These simple beginner exercises are much more difficult to execute than, say, a bird or giraffe in the watercolor I'm more used to.
It's all the more frustrating because the instructor was standing in front of us, holding a canvas, and painting a sphere upside down while she talked. My jaw was hanging open. Teacher was done in 10 minutes; mine is at the three hours and counting mark.
Maybe that's why she's the teacher and I'm the student....

I think your sphere looks awesome - great shadow also! As you become for familiar with the medium, you will be able to do it quicker. I wish I could take an art class right now - it would be a great release of tension.
