Sketchbook Sunday

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.

One of six children, I was raised by a busy mom, who instilled in me a love of fabric. Though I learned to sew and knit at a young age, it was the arrival of my first grandchild that pushed me into action. A long-time knitter, I am now ready to explore all things fiber.

  1. 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.
