Nutmeg

 This weeks post is another from the series of small spice drawings I've done for my Etsy shop.


 This drawing was done in charcoal pencil on Fabriano Artistico watercolour paper. I love its smooth, bright surface- perfect for such detailed work.


 Rich very kindly polished up a nutmeg for me to bring out the grain and took some photos for me to work from. This was an interesting object to draw- such strong lines yet the rounded shape required subtle blending too.


 I'm actually very happy with the final piece and looking forward to the next one- a cut dried lime :)
