Hi Cathie- I feel your frustration in your post! The revised color looks really good to me! I think purples are hard to do because there rarely is one purple that works on its own. You have to mix a few colors to get the right one. I see that you followed Pam’s advice and the form is better now too! Don’t get too discouraged, your work just kee…[Read more]

This is looking great, Cathie! The color looks sooooo much more natural now. Way to go!!

Richard, you are really good at getting bright saturated colors. I’m a little confused by the orange color of the reflected highlight. Is it sitting on an orange surface maybe?

Pam ,since grapes are simi- transparent the light comimg out of the grape is orange . Taught to me by a painting teacher

Richard, I really like the bright graphic quality of your drawings. And you are getting a nice core shadow here. I’m seeing a dark outline around your pepper and around your highlight. You may want to try to fade your colors into your edges instead of outlining shapes. Your toning is getting better with each drawing. Keep it up 🙂

You’ve got it Susan! The range of tones on the branches give them great form! Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Sam- I love how the the subjects are tilted a little and not at the same angle, yet the positions compliment each other so well! The clarity of the colors is amazing and those textures – sublime!!!

Just seeing your note here so many months later! Did you anchor it? I like the idea of that upper left flower being attached to something – even if it’s just suggested in lightly…

This is a lovely drawing of an adorable nectarine. I especially like the left side and the area where the leaf is attached. You are getting lovely 3D form in that area. I think you have lost a bit of your main highlights, and you could take your kneaded erase and see if you can lift a bit of the highlight back out. And then I think you could get a…[Read more]

Pam commented on Richard A stjean's Photo 2 years, 8 months ago
Richard, I love how much practice you are getting! One thing that I’m noticing is that the left and right sides of this fruit are the same value. You want your left side to be lighter than your right side. Keep practicing slow careful toning with lots of light layers. Try not to press too hard with colored pencils. I find it helpful to hold my…[Read more]

Nice job Susan! You have a really good range of tones on the two spheres. I would lighten the area around the main highlight a little. There is too much of a jump from the highlight to the area surrounding it. The tomato also looks really good! The top area especially has really good form. I would add more dark and mid-range tones (use your…[Read more]
Thank you Doug – I agree with all your suggestions – the highlight area needs to more gradual and the reflective highlight is awkward. Good things to practice…..
