This was framed in my scrapbook program as it calls for a frame. The sketch is finished and the upper background is pretty much finished.
Hopefully I’ll have another WIP to show by Monday as the response was unanimous to see the work in progress.
Would you believe that upper dark background sports 6 different shades of blue and some black? The colors to be exact are Cerulean Blue, True Blue, Copenhagen Blue, Peacock Blue, Violet Blue and Indigo Blue mixed with some Black.
Just wait ‘til I start in on the green below, it’s not going to know what hit it! And as for that beautiful tulip there are a lot of colors going into that let me tell ya.
There’s much more to do so I’ll be back around the first of the week with another WIP. Don’t forget to keep those camera’s busy as I’m having another giveaway soon! Look for Gallery Days and Giveaways in the title as that’s going to be my title from now on!
Here’s where I left off with my bowl of fruit. I planned to have it finished before the giveaway but things didn’t go as planned and that’s just dandy.
I changed the background as I wanted that fruit to pop so the background went from the light to quite a bit darker. There were some more changes made on the pear, peach and bowl but it still has a ways to go. I will get this finished but I plan to do so after I finish Miss Nan’s piece of art.

The work in progress is beautiful! And I really like the darker background in the bowl of fruit picture, it really does make the fruit POP! Lovely work!
The first pic is really coming along. And that fruit bowl is fantastic! LOVE all the colors.
How lovely!
Wow…I love the change in the bowl of fruit too! It is amazing what you do with those pencils my dear.
Your drawing is coming along so well – you have such a wonderful talent! I also love your bowl of fruit. My eyes did a happy dance when I saw the newer version – you’re right about the dark background making the fruit pop! I wanted to enter your drawing contest so I went to my backyard to shoot some photos but realized the only thing I had to work with were dying spring flowers and not-quite-ripe fruits. Oh well – next time for sure!
I’m so sad I missed the initial contest ;( I was busy repainting bedrooms, but thankfully, both kids have fresh decor to start the school year with!
I love the tulip! Botanicals are my favorite and your colors are great! Thanks for stopping by my blog for a visit 🙂 Jen R
Love that fruit bowl and the darker background is just right!

Seriously Debbie… I’m astounded at your talent! I can’t tell you how excited I am…
Now to pick a prominent wall for that thing!!!
