Hi,
This is the latest addition to my colored pencil lessons. I am using a photo of this image to teach image transfer, and then I ask the students to draw five cherries. Michigan is famous for its cherries and we have some of the best soil in the world.
It takes more colors than you might think to depict a juicy red cherry. I used about 8 different colors for this piece.
