Clementine by Julie Ann Terry. Julie tells us, "
I have always wanted to draw a clementine. Isn't it a
"cutie"!" Yes, it is, and her choices for composition are great! We see not the iconic little round orange fella, but a clementine with peel undone, one segment set off to the right,

How About: Making fruit your drawing subject for a series of days. Find ways to explore fruit, cutting, ripping, grouping like or non-like subjects. Play with color combinations, and head out to a specialty grocery (Asian, Middle Eastern, Whole Foods) that has a huge variety of fruits we don't see often in regular grocery settings.

Most of our group do not live in the country. Yet, one needen't always head to the countryside to find suitable subjects. After all, the Impressionists painted anywhere they found a sight that interested them. This is a good book to get your toes wet, outside, drawing in urban settings!
