Doug Milne commented on Lucille Alice's Photo 4 years, 10 months ago
Autumn leaf season!!!!! This is looking great Lucille! The one thing I would revisit is the outside edge as it is looking fuzzy. I would use a Verithin pencil in a coordinating color (gold or lt. brown) to crisp up the edges.

Beautiful Sheila! The fig on the right looks much better since you rounded out it’s left side. The interior view is particularly amazing!!!!

I agree about the storybook quality. It is a lovely delicate rendering

Yes, I had trouble controlling the wash at the edges and then the addition of these micro points were a challenge. I appreciate the advice and will work on it. Thank you.

Gorgeous Lucille!

Thanks, Katy. The innards are gooey! I’ve done a little work on the dark fig and reposted. Learning experience! -

I think this is all I can do with this drawing. I gouged the paper putting in the splitting open “effect”, but I softened the left edge of the purple fig and a kind of reflective highlight. Definitely not a great choice to pick such an uncharacteristic fig. Oh, well, still fun to study and eat!

Thanks, Doug. It’s good to hear from you. I hope you’re all well.
-
These are so beautiful Sheila, lovely composition pulls me right in!
-
Yes, much better! I like that you use the color of the green eggplant as a reflective light on the purple eggplant. Nice!
-
Thanks, Maureen!
-
Glad it improved. Thanks!
-
This is beautiful! Love the richness of the colors.
-
Thanks, Jill. The colorful fruit was very appealing to me.
-
Thanks, Vern. Yes, the shadows need fading out and an irregular edge. I saw it after I posted it. Back to the drawing board…:)
-
Hooray! Well done!
-
Sam, I love your enthusiasm! I’m a jet lagged zombie at the moment. Got back to the US yesterday.
-
Welcome home Sheila!!!!!! You made great use of your quarantine! You should have an exhibit (when such things are possible again) of your Spanish Quarantine!
-
Thanks for the welcome back! Yes, the Spanish quarantine period with Spanish snacks and music! 💃🏻
-
Thanks, Vern. I’m so happy to be back. Especially with this weather. I’ll ask you for some help with a digital album. Love that idea. Looking forward to seeing you before too long!

Yes, love the textures! especially the middle fig and the cross section. It’s great. I can feel the gooey innards!

Wow! This is incredible – the surface texture is excellent and the leaves look so real.

Sam, my eye gets stuck there, too. Time to give it a rounder shape. I knew it was an awkward shape, but it “fit” in my unplanned composition. I’ll see what I can do. Thanks! -

Yeah, unfortunately, those Gingko nuts rot up pretty rank.

Sam McWilliams commented on sheila y.'s Photo 4 years, 10 months ago
Ooh, beautiful, I love the texture of that green/purple fig skin – great colour work there, and the inside of the fig. I’m getting stuck on the left side of the dark fig, ie, even if your fruit is really shaped like that, that straight line of that side is an angle that’s so sharp that my eye gets stuck there.

Yes – this starts to tell me a longer story about this tree. Looks like a beautiful picture book. Would be quite a scratch and sniff page, eh?

I like your writing, Nancy. Reminds me of hand lettering from California’s Arts/Crafts Movement’s borrowing from Art Nouveau.

Yes, it’s great to see the two surfaces together. I’ll keep at it. The challenge! -

Thanks, Sam. Yes, I’ll try the Morse code approach 😄 ! I’d like to learn how to do this. -

To arise to the challenge, I did a peach and an tomato. An apple would have been better as you would have had dueling varigations! - Load More
