It’s A Bowl Of Fruit

Dear Readers, I know, I know, I promised to wait ‘til my picture was finished to share but I thought you may begin to wonder if I was really drawing these days. So I’ve decided to post a little update.

I’ve sort of laid the foundation of colors but as you can tell there is a whole bunch more work to go into this pic. Today I’ve been working on the peach and a few of the grapes. Actually the 3 green ones that are hanging over the outside of the bowl.

I realize as an artist I’m scatterbrained as I never just stick to one subject. As you can tell, I’m all over the place, but that’s just how I like to work. Then there are some artists that work from one side to the other and I just can’t wrap my brain around that. I guess for me I like to “see” what the next subject is going to “look like”. I’m sure I won’t finish that peach before I have to nail one of those black grapes. That’s just the way I roll and I’ll never figure it out. But no worries, this will get finished to its entirety as I love this bowl of fruit way too much. Oh and I just had a look at that pear and that’s going to be a ball of fun to finish too!

But for right now, I’m going to have to put this picture to rest as I have other household duties calling. And I just may not be able to pick up my colored pencils ‘til Monday so, stay tuned. And in the meantime, here’s wishing you a delightful weekend!

  1. It’s looking beautiful. Just as you are terrified of doing portraits I’m terrified of doing still life with coloured pencils. I shall give it a try sometime. I’m looking at a candle in our living room right now that looks like something to start with. What brand of pencils do you use?
