Candy Jar

"Sweets for the Sweet"
5" x 7"
Graphite on Strathmore 500 series vellum Bristol


      This little drawing took a long time to complete, small though it is. I was determined to get the candy wrappers right, meaning all the intricate little highlights and other features unique to cellophane wrappers. Then there were the wrappers inside of the glass jar...I think that was the hardest part, but I do love a challenge, lol! The dark background is all graphite, with the candy reflections lifted out with the kneaded eraser. So much fun! I have more drawings planned for the future featuring glass objects. I'm looking forward to a productive New Year. 

Happy New Year to you and yours, and thank you for your interest in my art. :-)
