During the holidays at home for Chinese New Year Celebration, I collect some mandarin from relative, therefore it inspire me to sketch them on black paper.
I made a fast sketch on the object from top view.
I sketch another one on the same object, but this time, I place the mandarin on top of a silica tortoise ashtray.
The scene was shot at a beach in Yi Lan, Taiwan (宜兰,台湾). It is a beautiful beach where the sand are dark in colour. MUNGYO oil pastel for artists 72 colours on white drawing block.
I sketch this after I came back from Taiwan. I sketch is with SIMBALION Oil pastel bought from Taiwan. I sketch this on black color paper. This Light Tower is dedicated for the Jan 2009 Oil Pastel Challenge of wetcanvas forum.
