I finished this colored pencil piece that I’m call the “Little Berry Picker”. I'm pretty happy with the end results. I should have added more stickers to my vines though. I remember, as a child, just how much work it was to pick blackberries. We each had a pair of garden gloves that my mom had cut the fingertips out of to attempt to protect our hands from all those sharp thorns. You came home sweaty, dusty and covered with plenty of battle wounds. I’m pretty sure that anyone seeing us would conclude that the bushes won. It was worth it though when you had a warm bowl of cobbler with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream melting on the top. Yum!
I also wanted to share with you my most recent sketch. It can’t be much more recent. I will give you a series of work in progress photos of this drawing so you can see how I start out each of my little color pencil drawings.
All of these colored pencil sketches that I have completed in the past 2 weeks will be made into a series of greeting cards that will be available on my Etsy Shop and Website very soon.
If you want to keep up with what is going on in my studio, then consider signing up for my studio VIP email or by liking my Facebook Art Page @Julie Townsend Studio. This fall I will be having giveaways and discount offers via these two avenues. You don't want to miss out.
