A frame within a frame

I love working within a small frame on a bigger sheet. It allows me to see the composition much more effectively than if I cover the whole page with the drawing. And if I had another hour today I probably would have done a few more of these clementine compositions just to see how many variations on a theme I could come up with. It’s an interesting exercise when you have a few minutes.
A great tip! I have a couple of pears I’ve been sketching (though 3 would be better) and will try what you suggest. These clementines are beautifully rendered. Once again, you convey the character of the fruit so well.
Thanks Alison. Pears are so beautiful to draw. I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
this is such a great idea. beautiful drawings
Thanks Katie.
Framing in the sketchbook is a great aid, too.
I think you use that too don’t you Lee?
