When life gives you onions, paint them!

I've decided to give up on journaling for the moment and go back to what I want a lot more - learning how to draw and paint.

I recently came across several books on botanical drawing and want to focus on that this summer. Bente Starcke King has a wonderful instructional book, BOTANICAL ART TECHNIQUES, and teaches color mixing through the layering method. My onion doesn't look like hers, but at least I can tell it's an onion and am starting to understand how only two colors can do the work of an entire palette!
