Sometimes don't you just have to run as fast as you can to your paints and paint a pear? No? Well, sometimes I do. I love pears--and I love to eat a juicy ripe pear. An aunt used to send us a whole box of pears for Christmas when I was a child and we had pears for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As you see this is actually on cheap graph paper and I used some stamps and Caran de Ache for the shading. It gives a glazing effect which I like and will start to learn to do with my oils. I am way far away from that though. I have to do my value scale on the pot I drew first. Drawing the pot was the first hurdle! And it all comes back to the drawing...the hardest part.
Power to the Pear!
This pear is beautiful! Good luck in your new class, I can't wait to see what you come up with!

ReplyDeleteGreat picture. So what if it's on graph paper. It's wonderful how you've made the background and the pear different but the same.
ReplyDeleteI love your pears, Martha! When I was a little girl, there was a pear tree right outside my window. I always wanted to hang out of it and pick the best ones. {Your daughter is beautiful!} ~K♥
