This past week, I completed a 4-week drawing class. The final lesson involved sketching from life. This is my rendering of a pint of grapes sitting on a book with drapery over top and in the backdrop.

When we had finished our drawings, the teacher asked us to add one or two colors with pastels or pencil. I chose the yellow to highlight the container, and purple to pick out a few luscious grapes.
This lesson was so fun and relaxing. It made me wonder why I don’t stick with graphite instead of beating myself up with watercolor painting.

Love your colour choices and that you didn’t colour the whole piece,
Putting the emphasis on the subject.
Nice pencil work. I enjoy working with pencils as well because you can get the whole range of values.

This turned out amazing! Sketching from life helps train the eyes to really see I think. I like the colors you added too. 😃
