Green Pepper

I need to go back and add something to this. The colors that are in the shadow under the pepper should be IN the pepper itself. The darks are not dark enough, if that makes sense. Fellow artists, you understand. So, while I have work in progress shots of this piece, and I've signed it… Continue reading Green Pepper

Cupcake with blue frosting

It took me a ridiculously long time to finish this drawing. I don't know why. It really wasn't overly complicated or anything like that. It's not huge,the paper is only 9" x 12".  I think what the problem was, was that I stopped and started it too many times, instead of just sitting down and… Continue reading Cupcake with blue frosting
