Capsicum Still life
Previous blog post showed the first exercise I ran in Term 2 - a single vegetable in layered colour pencil on hot press paper. Our second subject was to expand on this exercise and create a pleasing composition of a variety of vegetables or fruits and render them using colour pencil techniques.
I choose to continue the capsicum theme and selected a variety of sweet and hot varieties from my local greengrocer and from my backyard garden (the little knobbly red and large red ones).
The resulting drawing is approximately A3 size on 300gsm Lana cold press paper. Pencils used were Prismacolor Premier and Prismacolor Verithin.
The color strokes have a nice type of touch. It looks like a natural touch of a pencil. Making sketches with such best art kits makes the painting more realistic.
