No turning back
Posted: March 17, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized 7 Comments »When I work with ink and wash, especially with simple subjects like this, I want to make sure I don’t over “ink” the drawing. In other words, I want a bit of structure but not a lot of shading, crosshatching, etc. I think in this sketch I probably should have left out the ink lines on the cut lemon — they just seem a little harsh. But that’s what happens when you go straight to ink. There’s no turning back.
Hi Shari. I love these lemons!!! They are a burst of sunshine in this endless winter. Sounds like you are up to a lot of really exciting things these days. I have an idea I’d like to discuss with you about an illustrated cookbook.Wondering if you might be interested on collaborating on a project with me. If you are at all curious or intrigued by this idea, let me know. Maybe we could get together for a coffee and talk about it. Take care. Susan

Hi Susan!!
Yes, things are happening and much of it due to your great article. I am forever indebted to you.
So glad you like the lemons. I can see that you feel the same way as me about this winter. When will it end? I needed some colour in my post today.
Yes, I am absolutely interested in collaborating with you. In fact I have your wonderful book on my table now. I am illustrating a children’s book these days but I will be ready for a new project soon.
I will email you.
Shari
Bravely done. Delicious-looking lemons.
I did this while I was baking a lemon cake Lee. It was delicious!
I love the bright yellow in this one!
your paintings are stunning, great colors and fluency, bravo!
Thank you so much!
