Summer Sketchbook Series No. 3
/This week I stopped by the small grocery store in my neighborhood to look for inspiration. While in the produce section I went through a big crate of beautiful pears - the perfect subject for my next sketchbook session. The pear needed to be cute, plump, and have a stem still attached, and I found it! The perfect pear!
Instead of sketching the pear, I decided it would be fun to create a loose watercolor painting and capture the essence of the fruit. Using a large, round watercolor brush, I began by dipping the brush in clean water and creating the shape of the pear. Next, I added watercolor and a touch of Stabilo for the stem. I let the black Stabilo bleed a little into the top of the pear to create a focal point, and then finished the quick watercolor sketch with a little paint splash.
Materials I used in the session:
A perfect pear
