Hi Phoebe, I have not forgotten that I owe you some expresso beans. You have been very patient and hopefully you believe in better late than never, right? ; )
The other two thumbs are for the next painting that I am going to start. It's about figs on a branch, don't ask me why, it's just an idea I haven't been able to let go of.
These are totally delightful Naomi! Yes, I believe better late than never and the coffee beans look perfect for dipping in chocolate. They will be tested out AFTER I complete some decent thumbs to post. Your thumbs have a very nice graphic design element to them. Looking forward to seeing the painting when you do it.
A thumbnail Sketch is a small and rough sketch outlining the elements in a proposed painting. Thumbnail sketches are a good way to work through an idea, or to try out different compositions. It is up to the artist to decide what medium to use; pencils, charcoal, colored pencils. Notes can be added on thoughts and ideas to carry out in the painting. The shape of the sketch is in proportion with the paper or canvas to be painted.

They look delicious. Perhaps I should try some, too. I've just had a coffee and I'm very sure to be up very late this night O;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely work, the detail in these are really nice.
