"Bing Cherries" Pen and Ink

9" by 12" 100 lb paper

My pen and ink study of a Bing cherry still life. I found depicting the texture of Bing cherries a challenge. I decided the a pointillism approach was better then crosshatching. I may have to go back and redo some of these pen and ink still life's and try a line approach with cross hatching instead of the dotting approach of pointillism.
