Pepper Eggplant & Tomatoes

Whether you call it eggplant or aubergine, it’s tasty when you roast it in the oven!

Of course it’s also good with tomatoes.

Eggplant is a popular still life vegetable. It has a beautiful deep purple skin and it’s very glossy. Most of the color shows up in the highlight reflections. The rest of it is so dark it almost looks black.

The original painting is for sale on Daily Paintworks.

I started this painting with a coat of transparent red. I mixed it from Quinacridone Magenta and Hansa Yellow Medium. The transparency allows the drawing to show through. I added some Pyrrole Red in some areas because I wanted the brightest red possible.

This is the second pepper drawing that I've created using Adobe Ideas. The first was a full color green pepper drawing. I thought I would try to mimic a traditional pen and ink drawing using Adobe Ideas, and I've found that it works rather well.

THE DRAWING TECHNIQUE

I began this drawing by making a quick and  loose sketch of the basic shapes using a fine line. I wasn't worried about making mistakes because I knew that I would be working back into it with heavier cross hatching that would hide these finer lines.
