Study of a Clementine Orange… In January of this year I commited to drawing as much as I can, given I have to work everyday, and I have kept at it. I was particularly excited when I started my blog and stumbled upon this site. I love seeing everyones posts and their art, what a great community. For this particular orange I drew it 8 times before it whithered up and my wife made me throw it away. What is amazing to me is each time I drew it I would discover a different way to mix the colors, layer color on color, hold back in certain areas to keep the undrecolor showing. What fun it was to me.. My son looked at a few of them and said…”It’s just and orange, they are all the same Dad. What is it your fruit book?” I looked at all 8 drawings and stated that he should take another look because each of them is drastically different from the other. I am tempted to post all eight and get your opinions.

Well done these are nice studies and I’d love to see all of them.
Coloured pencils are my first choice in colour work and finding different ways to express yourself is a true step towards creativity.

Andrew, I am delighted that you have achieved your goal of regular painting. I try to do this and have discovered that, although it might not improve my stuff overnight, it does increase my confidence. Well done. Unlike your son you will have noticed some different details with all the oranges each time you look at the subject.
