I had fun painting my breakfast pastry this morning before church (we meet at noon so I have time to dabble). I used water-soluble graphite for the fork–I think it is great for getting a metallic look.

This blog is about my journey as a botanical artist--what I am learning, what inspires me and what I am currently drawing or painting. My desire is to continually hone my skills to better express my wonder and gratitude for the beauty of the creation around me in the Pacific Northwest (USA).
Wow…very well done!
The fork is perfect. Great work getting that metallic look to it. The whole painting is beautiful.
Who would have thought to use WS graphite for metal? Great idea and thanks for passing it along. And… oh my… your pastry looks fabulous! I think I want to eat the paper!
