EMC #96 Something Sweet



The challenge at Everyday Matters this week is to draw something sweet.

I actually did cookies last week (not knowing it would be the challenge this week) so I decided to sketch a candy bar this week.

DH gave me this candy bar-the new Reese's Crispy Crunchy Bar--and it has been sitting in the basket for a week. I thought I better sketch it before he eats it :)

Journal note: I am not much of a sweets person because I was allergic to chocolate my entire childhood so I never developed the addiction that so many have. However, I do enjoy, and can tolerate a sweet treat once in awhile.

Watercolor in the Raffine and I used the end of an eraser to get the nuts in the bar (hey, whatever works)!

Watercolor and colored pencils in the Raffine Sketchbook.

Teri, Great job on this and I LOVE Mountain with meaning! I agree "what ever works!"

Lindsay said...

This is adorable! And I love chocolate and peanuts together! (I have a mild reaction to chocolate and must imbibe in moderation) But it sure is fun to see your chocolate!!

Great job, the crumpled wrapper is a challenge of its own.

Good work, Teri. Love the eraser for the nuts! You are so resourceful.

And work it does! I love that intense blue shadow against the orange paper---my favorite orange/blue pairing and you've used it so successfully.

THIS IS FANTASTIC! COLOR, TWISTS OF THE WRAPPER, CHOCOLATE! GREAT JOB, TERI! I LOVE THIS!

This is really great Teri! I am a total chocoholic. When I've been in the States I've never really liked your chocolate too much (sorry) I guess it's what you're used too; and I just love European chocs. However, last time I was on holiday my sister and I got hooked on Reeces - especially those little peanut butter cups. We have since found a store here that stocks them (which we were very excited about!) so I shall look out for these new ones - any excuse to eat more chocolate!! Great picture Teri.

Thanks everyone for stopping and leaving such nice words.

I knew I would run into some real chocoholics with this post. Yes, try this new candy bar, it is yummy.

I ate it today.

Yum! I try to stay away from chocolate since it's one of the foods that can cause migraines, but before I knew that I ate lots of Reeses. You did a really nice job on this one--it looks very realistic with all the twists and bends in the wrapper--sort of like a new version doing the folds and drapes in cloth.

This is a great sketch. I like the wrapper pulled back. Oh, I wish I didn't care about sweets, too.
