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.
