vegetable varieties


                  While in Hamburg recently I discovered zucchini can be bright yellow, as well as green. I couldn't resist and had to draw them in my sketchbook. I had already fallen in love with German vegetables, and started drawing a Kohlrabi, a kind of cabbage I first saw there. I never completed the sketch, but I like leaving unfinished parts, so here it is.

A pile of apples

 
A friend gave me a bag of windfalls and I had a happy afternoon painting them in my watercolours, blemishes and all!

Fascinating feathers


From left: Barn Owl, primary; Laughing Kookaburra, primary; Masked Lapwing, tail feather; Figbird, secondary, Laughing Kookaburra, tail feather; Bush-stone Curlew, primary.
Primary feathers: outer feathers of the wing, provide thrust and propel the bird upward and forward;
Secondary feathers: provide lift by creating the airfoil shape of the bird's wing;
Tail feathers: help the bird to brake and steer in flight.

sketching - by Maria Elena Ferrari Italy




The sketchbook as a mirror, the sketch confuses him with the subject, there is some us in every sketch of ours...every time we draw, we open our heart to the others, the spring arriving with new subjects, but the emotion is the same one!
