Here’s the progression with the final! I used some dry brush technique at the end with Payne’s grey to get the little moldy spots and some of the shadows, and a Micron 01 and 005 to get some definition.
I was out of town this weekend (vacationing in New Mexico with my parents, yay!), so I missed out on Lucy Knisley's stop in Seattle (boo!) on her tour for her new book, Relish. But when I went to work my buddy Jasmine not only bought me the book but GOT IT SIGNED for me. So this is for Jasmine. The book is glorious! Lucy's work is so colorful and mouthwatering. :)
I visited Oberlin College (from which I graduated two years ago) this past weekend to visit friends, contra dance, and eat myself stupid. It was great.
Happy Pi day! This is a blueberry pie with generous amounts of Meyer lemon zest and juice. We made quiche too. :)
The best lazy Sunday morning breakfast ever: cheese waffles, today made with some gluten-free flour and buttermilk, eaten with grade-B maple syrup and strong coffee. I think of cheese waffles as a midwestern tradition, but that may only be because it was my Madison-born partner who first shared them with me. Sharp cheddar is the best, preferably from Wisconsin.
The Sketchbook Project deadline has been bumped up to this Tuesday! So I have some much-appreciated extra time to work on it.
