I painted the peaches with a mix of various colors first. Indian Yellow, Cadmium Yellow Light, Chrome Orange and Carmine..then when that was dry I added a sketchy line around them and in the shadow sides with a red Sharpie ultrafine marker. The sharpie happened to be in the kitchen as well..so I decided to use it.

The colors are wonderful, I really enjoy looking at your kitchen journal sketches.
ReplyDeleteThey look good enough to eat!!! Yum yum!
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen journal!! These peaches are awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love the washes of the peaches highlights. They give the feeling of peach skin: soft and fuzzy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Annelein,

Gosh! I just love this kitchen journal series!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE the addition of the red sharpie. Adds a bit of spontaneity to the piece. Also the splotches - looks like you were enjoying some red wine while in the kitchen. :)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting work. Lovely colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your comments! The splotches were actually pigment squeezed from my brush about 2 feet above the journal and they make such a satisfying "plop".
