Sandwich Bag III: No Leftovers


This 6x9 colored pencil piece was done as a semi-serious challenge from Jaytee on Painting Friends. I was lamenting that Linda Lucas Hardy does plastic bags and there's another colored pencil artist who does paper sacks--what's left?!? Jaytee suggested I put the paper sack inside the plastic bag--so I did! Colors are richer in real life. I didn't do much heavy blending on this one, mostly on the fork and a little less so on the plastic bag. Wish Prismacolor would come up with a really beautiful golden brown--I find myself frequently looking for just this color and end up having to blend to get what I want. The paper sack is yellow ochre, burnt ochre, light umber, dark umber, and a little black.
