"Kale"colored pencil sketch
5 x 8" moleskin journal
This is my first entry into the Virtual Sketch Date project where a group of artists ban together once a month to draw from the same reference photo. Each artist interprets the sketch in their own way and in their own medium and then posts the result on their blog. I have watched this for a couple of months and am fascinated by what each artist creates.
The VSD project was the brainchild of Rose Welty and this month's photo reference was contributed by Sherrie Roberts.
Enjoy!
This is luscious!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are so rich.
Glad you joined in the VSD.
All of your work is fabulous.
Gorgeous! I'm fascinated by all the different interpretations too! For me, this is like having art lessons.......
ReplyDeleteI love how this turned out. Very nice color. I had trouble with the colors. Just couldn't quite reach them. I like how you left some of the paper white.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Love your colors!
ReplyDeleteReally like the crop! These are so fun...really nice to see what everyone does differently.
ReplyDeleteLovely. beautiful colours. I just love colour pencils.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful drawing Rhonda. Gorgeous colors. I am a sucker for botanical illustration and examples like yours are why. Very inspiring. Thanks for the view.

Lovely--you caught the texture and ripple of the leaves; and the subtle way you blended or overlaid colors is amazing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job, as always, Rhonda! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to join in on the September VSD.
I am amazed how anyone can finish a colored pencil piece in a week - and such a nice piece at that! I like the portrait layout and how the center is more detailed and the edges are looser. Of course the colors are great too.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done - I loved seeing the close-up of all the pencil strokes that blend together to make those folds and ripples.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, lovely strong colour pencil work, creating great depth and a great composition too!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I love the colors and the texture. Very rich indeed.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! I am having great fun looking at all of these. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteNice color and composition.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks, everyone, for you kind compliments and kudos! (When you work alone, feedback is precious.)
ReplyDeleteI love your colour blending and your stroke technique on the kale.
ReplyDeleteI also have enjoyed your dandelion series. I too like dandelions! Anyway, beautiful work!!
Fantastic colored pencil work. The best I've seen!
