Matthew's Strawberry

Matthew - After chatting with Matthew, he shared that the Strawberry is his favourite fruit and he is growing some in his garden this year. He decided to draw one for his artwork, from memory. Great work, Matthew. Looking forward to strawberry season myself! Felt-tip pen and biro were used.

Barbara's still life peaches

Barbara - 'Fruit Pastilles'. A beautiful, still-life artwork with one that has bites taken out of it and enjoyed by Barbara, providing an interesting single-fruit composition with a contrasting shadow background to add to its depth. Very juicy. Love the colours and fresh peaches, great study. Pastels were used to create this.

Still Life sweet treats by Donna

Donna - In her first artwork, Donna drew an online picture of a fruit bowl, and then, after joining the group, she experimented with still-life drawing. Initially, she drew some oranges, as shown in her first drawing, with great shading. She then decided to draw other food-related items, a Wicked cake, a chocolate creme egg, and an Easter Egg in its packaging, as it had just been Easter. So after the fruit, the sweet treats were drawn (: there's a balance with everything! Graphite and felt-tip pens were used.


Fruit covered background with a mid section slate and a picture centrally placed. Black and white drawings of a strawberry cut in half, a banana, peach and grapes on lined, off white paper.
Vicky's fruit selection

Vicky - these are awesome monochrome sketches of a fruit selection. Vicky was imaginative and used the picture of a strawberry from a bottle of drink to begin her drawing. Such great details and shape with the use of shading to add an impression of the 3D nature of the fruits, especially seen in the banana and peach. Great work, Vicky. Ink was used.


Fruit covered background with a mid section slate and a picture centrally placed. Large red apple with 2 green leaves and brown stem, and green shades on the flesh black, paper background.
Andy's giant apple

Andy - A fantastic giant apple with its classic black background, often used by Dutch artists in the past when creating their still-life fruit paintings. Andy produced this from a step-by-step online art source. It has a great shape and looks fresh! Soft pastels were used.

Sarah's still life fruit composition

Sarah - '3 out of 5'

When the apple met the pear and the grapes crashed their party!

This was my still life study of a fresh fruit composition, I enjoy many fruits, these are some of my favourites, but not my absolute favourite. You can see a Packhard Triumph Pear, Junami Apple and Allison red Grapes. Painted in Watercolours. Different shades to obtain the shadows to try and achieve their spherical shape and form adjusting to the light source.


Fruit covered background with a mid section slate and a picture centrally placed. White paper background with 5 fruits placed a green apple top left, red apple bottom left. Both apples have brown stalks and small brown marks on them. A small red strawberry, green stalk, top right and a large yellow banana, brown stalk, bottom right. Purple grapes bottom left.
Nicole's Fruit Selection

Nicole - Brilliant drawings of a selection of fruit. The banana she has drawn and painted adds a great presence with its curve and shading. Maybe I'm biased, as one of my favourite colours is yellow! Nonetheless, it's a fabulous work to be in the gallery, great work, Nicole. A pen was used to draw the shapes, and acrylic paints were used to fill in.


An interesting week, not everyone had access to the fruits they wished to draw, so they made use of resources and what they had to hand at the time. On further explanation, a member of our group improvised with other food items for their still life drawings. Adaptability, learning, and resourcefulness are the keys. Hoping our creatives take an opportunity to study objects and draw from life in the future, as it does bring different perspectives and new appeals. Please make time to look through the gallery, it's fantastic.
