This is a final reminder to all the procrastinators out there that the Apple Challenge ends tomorrow, October 15th. Has it really been a month? Too long? Too short?
I started it for my own selfish purposes - to explore apples in different media and forms and I think I've succeeded in that. The big learning curve comes from seeing what others produce and gleaning ideas from that.
I started a little sketch today then pushed it further tonight. Its done with carbon pencil and white charcoal on brown paper, my current favourite sketchbook.
I am really going to miss your apples!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous. Nice choice of paper and medium.
ReplyDeleteThis is a favourite, Jeanette. Beautiful one to finish. You have conveyed the green apple of the apple without the colour.
ReplyDeleteOh I think there will be more from time to time Mekeel.
ReplyDeleteI love this sketchbook Jo. I'll have to go buy up the local stock in case they disappear! :)
I was rushing on this Robyn and you're right, its worth spending some more time to finish. I love carbon pencil and this paper. It gives a unique effect.
great shadows to this :) after seeing so many people work on brown paper i really need to try :)
ReplyDeleteI love that one too! Very soft colours
ReplyDeletePS: I just didn't know "white" charcoal existed ! Thanks
Lovely work and sensitivity!
