Above is my 3rd spread for my Sketchbook Project, a green pepper, one on a small plate, with a segment cut from the pepper placed in front but to the side of the plate. I left some seeds on the segment to show a bit more of what is inside of a green pepper. Done with colored pencils after first sketching the pepper with a regular pencil. I had a hard time with the plate, and am still not sure it is quite correct, but it will have to do. It took me longer then I intended to get to this, but once I started it was actually rather fun to do. Not sure where I am going next with these drawings. I feel that I have about finished vegetables, though I may move on to some fruit. Course I may go in an entirely different direction, stay tuned, and remember that comments are welcome.
I have been busy working on a mini-quilt, which is no almost done. Hopefully my next post will be a photo of the finished quilt.
I couldn't help noticing that the plate in your drawing looks like one of my vintage Dansk plates. See on my blog here: http://andsewitgoes.blogspot.com/2009/02/parallel-lives.html
ReplyDeleteDo you have the same dishes?
PS. the drawing is very nice!
Terry, yes it is Dansk, with the brown edging. I first fell in love with the design about the same time you did. I only have a few place settings as I never married so had to collect what I have on my own, but I eventually convinced my mother that it was durable and I wasn't crazy so she gave me a few settings, the rest I mainly purchased as seconds. Love your comments on your blog post about Dansk vs china. Even after all these years I still love my dishes :)
