purple red vegetables

Two recent drawings from observation.(I like to keep up my drawing skills with little sketchbook exercises). The onions are watercolour. The red cabbage is marker pens.

Magenta Teapot

 Every now and then I need to paint a teapot. (I drink a lot of tea!).  Here is a quick sketchy painting. The shapes and the tonal values were from observation of a little round teapot. The colour palette was from my imagination and not what I saw in real life. A mixture of the seen and the invented to make a colourful vibrant image using inky water soluble pencils in my sketchbook.

Lavender

Drawn from observation using a range of iPad apps to explore the fragrant brittleness  of lavender in a vase.
