Such a busy weekend for us -- a bit of work, visits with the grands, C having to work ... but enough time to get in a longish sketch. This was from a photo reference. I wanted to sketch a few more apples and grapes in honor of the season.. Allof our apples have been dried and placed in the freezer for holiday gifts and we just didn't have time to squeeze in a visit to the grocery store!
The rain and even cooler nights have really brightened the colors of the trees --and already some of the leaves have dropped. I spotted a few sycamore and tulip poplar with bare limbs!
(Pencil, watercolor, touch of ink done in Raffine sketchbook.)
Gives new meaning to,"pretty as a picture" doesn't it? LOL
ReplyDeleteLuchious, and I love your leaves too.
Hi Lin, All of your work is wonderful. Look forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteOh, Lin, this is simply beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice. I look forward to seeing more of your work
ReplyDeleteYou always do so well with highlights on fruit! These are lovely, cara. It's odd to hear from you and my husband that it's been quite chilly there, whereas here, in a far more northerly latitude, it has been nothing but mild all month!
ReplyDeleteLin - beautiful!

Wow! These are so beautiful and appetizing. The apples look so real and shiny and apple-round and the grapes have just the right softness and low sheen to them. I'm curious if you added the ink after you painted or drew in ink and then painted?
ReplyDeleteLin, this one is added to my favorites of yours. Outstanding and wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteYour shading is scrumptious! Lin these are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLin! Your colors just GLOW in this painting! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou outdid yourself on this one, Lin.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Lin, the apples are gorgeous -- the highlights are just like polished apples sitting on a table. Great work!
ReplyDeleteHugs and Kudos!
Fantastic Lin, they look so much nicer than our last season and looking tired already apples. Of course not a grape to be seen.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Thanks for indicating what paper and pens/pencils/watercoloryou used.
ReplyDeleteI wonder many times how people get a certain look.
This is fantastic. It inspires me to try something similar. Great work Lin.
ReplyDeleteWow, Lin, the highlights on these apples are awesome! Great picture!
ReplyDeleteThe highlights on the apples and those luscious colours really make them zing!
ReplyDeleteOh man. These apples - esp the one on the left are Killer! Great job! Cheers! Mary Ellen
