Color in my Moleskine





I am playing around with color again in my Moleskine sketchbook.

The page with the lamp and geranium was done using Pitt Brush Pens, colored pencils, and watercolor pencils, with just a damp brush to smush a little of the color around.
The fruit was done with watercolor, and as suggested in the comments on another Moleskine page, I used less water than usual and more pigment. Another suggestion in the "comments" was to use just a little soap on the brush. I am going to try that next.

I had intended to put in some shadows under the fruit, but the light changed, and we ate the fruit. Yes, I know - I am not above faking the shadows.
