"Apple" Water Color
!!" by 15" 140 lb paper
My water color study of the apple still life. I used some of the knowledge I gained with the colored pencil exercises to help with the color on this piece. I was happy with the results. My problem is the photography . the green frame around the apple is not crooked in real life the photo makes it look lopsided. something about the way I have the camera set is creating this optic effect. A mystery that needs to be solved.

"Apple" Colored Pencil
9" by 12" 100 lb paper
I used the techniques from colored pencil panting bible for this study. It has been a excellent reference and practice source. Learning how to layer the colored pencils has really helped me with not only colored pencil but with water colors. I am pleased with the results here. I plan on seeking some expert advice on photographing art work soon.

"Apple" Pen and Ink Drawing
9" x12" 100lb. paper
This is my pen and ink study of an apple still life. I notice that my pen and ink work has a different quality from the other three studies i do. the pencil, colored pencil and water color are more concerned with realism, while the pen and ink tends to be more stylistic. I am not sure why, it seems to me something that the media I chose dictates.

I continue my study of supposed "simple" still life with a study of an apple. You can get lost in the details of the apple skin. I am trying to learn how to render the highlights on the apple.
