He turns 10 today- seems like such a short time!
I actually managed to figure out that a PHOTO might suffice to get a picture of him drawn- he is much more still then ;)
Not a perfect picture- but better than the others I have tried to draw of him ;)
The second monthly sketch project...
I was torn between messing with dip pens and my colour pencils. So I chose to try out the dip pens... which of course ends up with the kids trying to join in, my fingers black and blobs in unwanted places :) Still- I had fun ;p
This is the mini project for September 09.
As the summer ends, and autumn draws near... the gardens and farmer's markets sport a cross-over of vegetables and fruit from BOTH seasons.
The pepper is from my garden, the apple is from the store- but they are both locally grown :)
The autumnal equinox happens tomorrow- and after that, the nights start getting longer here in the Northern Hemisphere... lots of things to look forward to though :)
ETA: Jeanette over at Illustrated Life is hosting an apple challenge- so get your pencils ready and draw these delicious autumnal fruits!
HT to Robyn at Have Dogs, Will Travel for the heads up...
When DD brought this pepper in, I couldn't resist drawing it. But then we had to leave 1/2 way through- so I decided to photograph it. DD helpfully moved the pepper first, so I replaced it then photographed it... and finished this later :)
I decided I liked the contrast of the oil burner behind it, and added it in :)
This is the same pumpkin as before- just a different technique... :)
