Cherries in Coloured Pencil - Part 1

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

Happy New Year!

We are kicking off the new year with these shiny, red Cherries. A lovely project for exploring how to achieve that high shine. We will be using two photographs for this project.

For the composition we will be using this reference image from Unsplash https://unsplash.com/photos/lZ8onQ1wuY8

For the colouring we will be using my own reference image.

Happy Creating!
