Large chillies or small peppers

I bought loads of these at the farm shop this morning, I don't know if they are hot or just peppers. I plan to 'stew' them in a rediculous amount of olive oil, with tons of garlic & the odd caper. I suppose then we'll find out. They looked so nice that I went straight to painting and didn't study this morning... guilt overload.

Lousy photo, but there's no way I'm going outside again.

A rush of chillies

I had told myself quite severely not to paint, but to study instead, but then  the weekly veg box arrived with a little bag of  fun looking chillies including a strange little twirly one.



It was all a bit of a guilty rush , so is probably ( okay definately ) not drawn entirely accurately. I don't mind that so much today, but the composition is poor.

Chillies are great fun to paint, but peppers, which you have to assume must be closely related, are a complete and difficult pain, I don't understand that.
