Doing my homework

Since I'm such a beginner to painting, I decided to do some exercises and lessons geared for beginners.  They are in a book called Painting for the Absolute and Utter Beginner.  There are other "learn to paint" books out there, but this is the one that makes most sense to me.  It is aimed at novices, and has nice, clear, simple instructions for beginners' exercises.  Other books have vague instructions, or want me to to exercises that I don't know how to begin.  This book is nice and clear, and though it is aimed at beginners, it isn't over-simple or condescending.  I like it a lot.

I'll post images of my work once the paint dries.
