I left my office at 5:30pm and the concert at 8:00pm., there is only 2 hours and 30 minutes for me to paint a picture. So, my teacher suggested me to paint a sketch. I did feel that I have not mastered the way to paint the leaves with my brushes directly, so, this time, I tried to paint them with more careful style and wanted to avoid the too similar situation happening as I did in the past pictures. How do think of that? Do you think that I have made a little bit progress? I hope you say, Yes. :-)
