These were actually done for practice before I did my Four Fruit Still Life post. The inspiration for these came from an art book. Grapes are a challenge as you have to try to make each one look unique. I had at least seven different purple and red pencils blending these into uniqueness. You definitely get a lot of practice blending and burnishing colors when you do grapes, but it was rewarding to do.
You did a wonderful job with these grapes. You captured the variety of colors and the soft glow of the light. Well done! nancy
ReplyDeleteI can see how grapes would be good colored pencil practice. You did a great job on it. I am glad you found it to be rewarding.
ReplyDeleteGreat drawing! Those grapes look good enough to eat!
ReplyDeleteI never thought about them needing different colors but I guess that makes sense. You did a great job on these.
ReplyDeleteCould I ask what color you are using for your shadow? I see you are adding some of the grape color but there is a basic color here too it seems.
Great job with these grapes. The color is so deep.
ReplyDeleteWow! I would love to eat these ^^ they seem so juicy and delicious.
