They look like these crazy delicious New Zealand apples I ate this week. Simple-perfect!

Thank you, everyone!
Carton and Leora:
I use a fountain pen with black ink. The pen makes lines of varying width depending on the pressure used. I put the ink down before the paint and yes, that line is the center of the book.

Lovely! The crease line is from your sketchbook? Did you do the ink first or the color first?

They look edible enough to send me out to the kitchen for one!

They’re wonderfully dimensional and apple-like with those beautiful Martha colors and lines. I love the bunny picture on your Author page!

An interesting approach to paint apples. I like it. Are you using two pens with different shade of grey/black?
