Bit of a quickie this week…………
Started the week having a go at some pumpkins, they are satisfying to sketch with their lovely round forms.
Then my eye was caught by a Callicarpa growing in the garden, it catches my eye and my attention every year because of the glorious colour of the berries, its common name is ‘beauty berry’ and I understand why.
I decided to make this the subject of my next coloured pencil drawing….. a great excuse to use the purples that have been lurking around unused since I tried a Cerinthe back in the spring. Lush!
A close up of how it is progressing.
I agree with you, pumpkins are such a luscious form, but the colours of those berries are amazing and leaves are lovely as well, so glad you choose to draw them. Looking good too. Karen
Those berries are looking great! Can’t wait to see the finished painting.
