Ok now I am craving a juicy summer peach freshly picked.
You have done a very nice job here.
Great colors and dimensions.
Texture and interest are present.
An overall nice summer piece of art.
Good job.

Allan this is a well drawn color sketch of the peach. Your color textures work nicely and are also enhanced by the paper textures. Good natural colors. The stem and leaf add to the composition. Good use of your medium. Well done.

This drawing of the sliced peach with watercolour pencils is very well rendered. Lovely smooth lines. Details are well brought out!.The shading is just fine. Overall a very good effort.

I like the detail on this, particularly around the stone. Not sure you quite conveyed the juiciness of the peach, but it's a good piece of art work.

This looks delicious! The way you painted this makes the peach look so nice and fresh. The colors are beautiful and stand out so well against the nice neutral background.

    Thanks Barbara for your time and wonderful review.
Comment from Daphne Oberon


I like your technique for portraying the sliced center and pit. I like your colors. The mechanics of it would convince me better if the peach were lying on its side on a surface and the free slice were supported by that surface, than as it sits suspended beside the peach. I like your choice of colors but your shading at the top could convince me more as to the shape of the peach with a shorter stroke technique from dark to light to highlight the rounded curve. The shading on the slice is perfect!! Have fun and a great day! Daphne Oberon

    I find your review a bit confusing to follow, to be honest.

A fresh picked peach, there is still a leaf on its stem, the stem and leaf are very well rendered the stem narrowing closer to the fruit, the peach is shaped perfectly with perfect peach tones and the tonal variations are natural and realistic, a perfect slice has been cut ,revealing the insides of the flesh and the pit in the middle. I like the way you positioned the peach at a slight tilt and the clear background really keeps our eye on this lovely fresh peach! Very well rendered in my opinion, it looks good enough to eat!

Comment from Miranda Langston


this is a really fresh approach (pun intended) on the Nature Art Contest. i like the faded blue just around the peach and the nuances in the rich orange colour
