The Sketchbook Challenge

Hey Creatives, (we all are you know!)

Hope you are well on this fine day.  Happy Birthday BEN!!

I have got some cool pics for you today.  I went shopping for some lovely fruit.  

 The reason for my "fruit" choices are for this months THEME on the Sketchbook Challenge. Click the link and check it out.  Opposites. I was really stumped for this one.  I googled "opposites" and got a list and picked some that stood out to me.



For Example;
night and day
dogs and cats
sweet and sour
hands and feet
fire and water
old and new 
salt and pepper
heart and mind
perfect and flawed
cold and hot
open and shut
truth and lie
and the list goes on...

So I thought...I have always wanted to try out a still life and what better way than this to learn some new techniques. And of course to eat yummy fruit after.  Ha! Ha! Ha!

I used a some watercolors that my dad bought for me a few years ago.  Van Gogh watercolor set.  Very highly pigmented and bright juicy colors.  Perfect for the fruit I thought.  And I really got to thinking about opposites and what that really means to me.

So thanks to Laura Cater-Woods for this wonderfully "thought provoking" theme.  The picture above was the one I entered on the site for this month's challenge.  I would like to explore more opposites this month in my sketchbook we'll see.

"People think they'll be happy when they have nothing to do, but that's just a blueprint for misery.  Keeping busy is what happiness is all about."

So on that note my "little creatives"...

Create something...anything...today!!
