Banana (2007)

Coloured pencil on coated paper (8.5" x 11")

This is a coloured pencil drawing of a real live banana, executed at
the kitchen table while the kids were drawing their own things. I
started with a value drawing just using a brown coloured pencil and
then started layering the yellows, greens, blues and oranges that
make up the final composition. I also used a lot of white pencil
crayon to "burnish" the colors, that is, meld them together and
fill the texture of the paper for a smoother look.

Another quick sketch with charcoal on coated paper.
This one is from a photo I found while surfing
Flickr's interesting photos.

Adjusting her Boot (2007)

Charcoal on tinted paper (8.5" x 11")

A simple study for a painting I hope to do later, there
was no model for this one, just an idea. But I think it
came out surprisingly well for all that.
