"Pear in Basket" Pen and Ink

9" by 11" 250 GSM

My pen and ink study of the pear in a basket design This is based on an instructional DVD by Jacquelline Gnott. I found this study fun with the different textures and trying to depict lace. the studies in pencil and pen and ink really forces me to think about values and shapes. It helps me resolved problems and become familiar with the subject before interjecting color into the study.

I purchased a instructional water color DVD by Jacqueline Gnott. I am trying to improve my water color techniques. I greatly admire her work, and have a link to her work on my blog. This idea is from her DVD "Pear Princess". She paints the most amazing pears. This is the pencil study of the instructional video. I will be posting my usual four studies. I was pleased with the results.
