Onions

Coloured pencil  ( 16x13 cms)

My entry for this month's Monthly Sketch Project . 

I love the colours in these onions, you can really have fun with the reds and purples.  I'm still experimenting with different types of paper and this time I tried (smooth) Fabriano 4.   I was quite impressed and will use it again.  The beautiful photo reference of the onions was provided by Gillian Mowbray.

Oh this is so soft, subtle and dreamy. Who knew that onions could look so good!
