or are they tangerines?
Still not had much time for sketching...here's some mandarin oranges, which must mean it's nearly Christmas.
Eaten long before I finished the drawing!

Cat
A quick charcoal sketch (less than 10 minutes) on canvas, work in progress.
I found it liberating to use charcoal after many months of watercolour.
Updates of painting to follow.
This is a sketch of one of my cats, she died last year.
The photo I used she has her mouth open so I changed it slightly, still not quite right
She has her hunting/slightly annoyed/when are you going to feed me look on her face which I saw often

Baby pumpkins....
Found this didn't scan all the colour differences on the greens, now add a background or not?
Had a busy month with little time for my own drawing, but working on some commissions. Thanks for your previous comments everyone

Champagne Grapes
I put the background on this picture and regretted it, faded it out with a white glaze.
Wish I'd scanned it before the background but it's always fun to experiment

tricky dried sea critters with a pungent odour....(used in Chinese medicine)...moving on to the painted version, which I think will be easier to depict all the texture and spikes

Sushi Set
Watercolour and Chinese ink on 140lb Aquarelle paper 24cm x 32cm
I was taken for a delicious sushi lunch at Ten Jaku, Causeway Bay last week.
The selection was a work of art.
I brought home the amaebi (prawn sushi) to draw but added the rest from a photo taken on my iPhone.
