French Pears, still life 10x12 Colored Pencils on Canson Mi-Tients Paper

Unknown Wednesday, April 4, 2012


Last Sunday at the studio, I brought along these two red pears to draw. I set them down on the table in front of me. I got excited to see how the work lamp above me was casting blueish shadows of the pears on to the work table. One pear was a little lighter than the other but they both took on a nice reddish brown tone from the lamp as well. I decided to do something a little different in that I only colored in the table on the bottom half of the drawing, preferring a white color, and leaving the top half of the paper untouched. The color of the paper is in a warm yellowish beige tone and it makes it look like a painted wall. Doing this cut my time considerably and allowed me to concentrate on the pears themselves. A good drawing tip I think..., by just letting the paper speak for itself.  Enjoy!
