So far all of my small drawings for this mini project have been either graphite or watercolour. I wanted to have a go at something different, and I was missing using my sewing machine!! I collaged the background. By adding a little bit more colour to the background it adds a little more interest to the piece and makes it seem although the nectarine is not just floating around in random space. After I had done that I painted in watercolour and then added in the most prominent sections with a biro. Once I was happy with that I added in the main dark and light sections with white and brown thread with the sewing machine. This adds a lovely texture to it and makes you want to feel the nectarine. I believe this works well and so will defiantly use this again…The brown paper looks like the juices oozing from the nectarine!!
