Well I did not feel like painting, so I got out my coloured pencils and fine point marker and went to town in my sketch book. I really enjoyed getting lost in the meditative and slightly mundane actions of cross hatching and shading.
Some times getting started on a painting seems like a huge chore but picking up my sketch book and a couple of coloured pencils feels more light hearted and not quite so daunting.
This drawing is exceptional! Love the lightness, freshness of it and yet I can feel the weight of the pear. Beautiful piece of work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki, it's nice to make marks with something other than paint every once in a while :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about that daunting paint! Love how the colors of pear look extra saturated against the subtle ground.
ReplyDeleteI agree this is very nice. Many years ago I dabbled in drawing and colored pencils - makes me want to try it again - wish I had your talent though. ~~Dan
