Urban Farmstands

Urban Farmstands is based on an article in Pacific Horticulture Magazine winter 2018. Residents of Sacramento County are growing more produce in their backyards and bringing it out into the community.

     The above is another illustration in the series I am developing of rendered vegetables in a graphic context. This time I chose to outline the vegetables, integrating them with the environment. 

     Check out the new poll on the side bar and tell me what your favorite vegetable is!

Colorful Bell Peppers

     One experience I've been enjoying recently is playing with different media and styles. For this drawing of peppers I experimented with different combinations of colored pencils and artist ink markers. I wanted to draw vegetables in a variety of colors and this subject satisfied that desire! 

     This drawing is 9x12" on Strathmore artist paper.
