Fruit part 2

Following on from fruit research was investigating fruit firsthand by sourcing fruit to draw. It was slim pickings in Tesco at first but i managed to get a good enough selection of stuff my favourites being the physalis which didnt taste that great and the humble orange which is good to draw and eat.

 

I drew these figs using watercolour pencils and a bit of ink, from the outside the fig isn't very spectacular but inside is complicated and fleshy and full of little seeds.

 

I really like drawing physalis, the sculptural shape is a lot more interesting than most fruit from the outside

 

 

This is a monoprint of a pomegranate quarter, i think it turned out really well but because it took so long to get all the detail in the ink started drying halfway through and i had to hurry it up a bit.
