Clementine5" x 7"
Coloured Pencil on Stonehenge Paper
This clementine was created for January's Virtual Sketch Date. The image was provided by Jeanette Jobson. I really enjoyed working on this piece. It is also my first still life since high school.
Oh, the light, the LIGHT! It is beautiful, Ana!
ReplyDeleteAnd it ennobles the subject much more than the photograph in the VSD ever did.
Inspiring!

ReplyDeleteAna, your colored pencil entry is beautiful and you did such a fabulous job capturing that feeling of bright light. I also really like the glow of the middle piece of peel against the dark background.
