ARTIST OF INSPIRATION

ELOISE RENOUF

What do you see in her designs?

Repeated Objects in various forms.

Transparent and Opaque overlapping each other.

Color Schemes in each piece.

What would you do if you had her style?

You can pick your subject (advanced classes)

or you can go with

Lemons as your subject (like below).

Study the anatomy of a citrus fruit.

Going over vocabulary will help out more when drawing the fruits.

Slice, wedge, segment, zest, pulp, walls, etc.

4th grade artist practice sketching her citrus
(above)

LET"S GET STARTED

Remember Eloise Renouf's Style....

Drawing the same object in various forms,

Playing with transparency and solid forms of the object.

Layering the object on the paper.

  1. Choose a COLOR SCHEME

Pick 3-4 colors you want to use for your picture.

  1. Choose your paper color.

Use white or a color that is in your scheme.

  1. Draw an assortment of citrus with pencil in variations of Slices, wedges, or whole.

  2. Outline them with marker in colors of your scheme.

If white, use a Prisma Color white.

  1. Draw same citrus blend on colored or white paper.

Outline with a marker, cut out and glue down to background paper.

5th grade Soape/Tuesday class

Kailyn an Madison

I found many ideas for this just google imaging:

lemon illustration print pattern vector seamless


Alternative Method

Drawing on white paper. Outline with Sharpie.

Highlight with non washable white crayon. Online with washable markers.

Paint with wet brush...

Another idea...
Leave the lemons black, white and grey.
Use marker to add spots to the background and do a water brush blend.
Looks beautiful.

4th grade Smartt/Tuesday class

Mrs. Smartt's class below

Faith, Avery, 
Campbell, Cavern, 
Anonymous & Harli 

Sketch from my 7th grader at HeartWorks in Quitman.

Another idea (I'm kinda inspired by these citrus!)...
Crumbled Citrus  Batik
https://tabithaannthelostsock.blogspot.com/2014/05/tempera-crumbled-batiks.html

Draw with Pencil

Outline with Sharpie

Color Hard with crayons (non washable)
Anything white must be colored white as well.

Crumble up picture 3 times and crush into a tight ball each time. \

Smooth out on surface.

Cover with a layer of brushed on black tempera paint.

Water down the paint and sponge off leaving only paint in the stained cracks.
