A slight change of pace for EDiM #26- this entry for the Virtual Sketch date took so long that I decided that was it for the day. That, and the feather I wanted to draw disappeared... ;)

You can catch all the other VSD entries for May 2009 here.

My entry for the Virtual Sketch Date April 2009, which can be found here Virtual Sketch Date April 2009 from a VSD photo by Jeanette Jobson

I decided to try watercolours for this one- which never scans quite right :/ I was not 100% satisfied with this one, but still quite like the result :)

Virtual Sketch Date- March Edition

I almost missed this one- just like I DID miss February's one :o
Virtual Sketch Date is a blog where a monthly photo challenge is posted. Artists from all over the world participate- drawing or painting their own interpretation of the image :)
You can see all the other entries PLUS the original picture at the VSD blog :)
This month, the challenge was two house finches at the feeder. It seems to have been a real challenge as it incorporates more than one kind of subject- the birds, the feeder AND the background trees. My motto- have fun and keep it simple :D Which I did!

My first submission for the virtual sketch date- my favourite winter fruit. I was inspired to join in by some fellow artists!
I overworked the back, right peel segment unfortunately- that's what happens when you try to do Latin and Greek while drawing :-o
