Eighty, those peaches are awesome... love the shading colours....nice sketches too.

Right. I forgot about commenting on the peaches. They look great Mr Ploos. You did a nice job on fixing the ellipse of the bowl with a base or colander or whatever. And the fruit looks good enough to sell. . . that is if it lasts after me eating them.

So good one lad.

hi Mac a quick sketch is that the correct to go for painting it in water colour now

[D Akey]

Not sure what you're asking, but it's a very homey sketch and a pretty good one at that. Watercolor on toned paper is not commonly done in the real world because with transparent color your paper is as light as you're going to get and yours is a muted yellow. This is more of a gouache (opaque watercolor) technique owing to your popping highlights with white paint. But what the heck. You don't have those kinds of restriction on the computer.

Be that as it may, you're doing a picture and not so focused on being a purist. Watercolorists are notorious for being snooty about the rules.

Anyway, I would perhaps correct the perspective of the chair behind his head to be consistent with the base (I think?) and you may want to attend to cleaning his hand a wee bit. Other than those couple things this is very respectable.

It's a right rural image, and Andrew Wyeth would love the subject. He was a yank in the USA, Maine I think it was. And believe me, these reproductions don't hold a candle to magic held in the originals. He was amazing -- one of the first artists I went nuts over when I first thought about becoming and artist.
