Apple
An apple for the approaching autumn-winter season for all you wonderful artists at Sunday Sketches, and for two of my weird friends...they know who they are. :)
perfect shading...one of my first art workshops was sketching an apple in graphite, charcoal and willow charcoal...my youngest son has it hanging in his kitchen today...I did it before he was born. This just makes me smile! cheers, dana
I know i draw without taking any lessons and so most of my drawings might be technically incorrect (and sometimes hard to draw too), but at the end of the day, what matters is that i love it. This one is an Oil on Paper, my first proper oil on paper portrait. Took me about 4 hrs (i guess i should buy new brushes, they don't look so good . .) and now i can't breathe, thanks to the turpentine. Looking forward to your priceless feedback. :)
Because men have feelings too (though most of them are related to female bodies, but i like to believe they think about things other than that too). . . My Sunday is incomplete without Sunday Sketches .
Did this one completely in oil pastels. I feel that colouring is my weak point, can never get it quite right. I still was happy to use those colours from my childhood and now it looks sweet too. Also, I find it very hard to read books with illustrations in them, I keep looking at the illustrations and wanting to draw them. Used to happen when my parents got me books from the library when I was small, happens still. This one I picked up from a children's encyclopaedia. * Sunday Sketches *
