cherries

Cherries! My bro brought home a giant box of Washington Cherries! They're so plump, rich, and tasty. They make an excellent drawing subject. There's something whimsical about them that I love. The deep reddish-purple hue is so intoxicating, especially with the yellow-green stem. I do love them so!

I just finished this one. Colored pencils. About 9x9. Now I shall go eat them!

  1. Bravo, Yarska! I completely agree. There is nothing not to love about cherries. Loose cherries are maybe my favorite subject... I'll probably do another today and/or tomorrow.
    Nice work. You are wielding the colored pencil well!

  2. Thank you! I'm so happy with this one. I was staring at it today, kind of in shock that I actually did that!

    I'm glad that I'm getting the hang of colored pencils. Color is so wonderful! I do need better pencils/more pencils...
