This is how the project started. The first picture is the initial brainstorming phase, which was more like an idea dump. I then refined it into two pieces and made 5 compositional sketches for each. Mrs. Rossi then picked her favorite two compositions and I made 2 marker color sketches. Then, we picked the one of me holding the pearls as my final piece.

Choosing the strawberry was a terrible decision at first. I had never really used prismacolor pencils before, and the grooves and lights and darks forced me to look at the strawberry in a very abstract way. I think actually as I went along, even though it was really hard, I improved immensely from picking the strawberry. As you can see in my final piece, I went a little crazy with the shininess but i learned how to layer colors and burnish where I wanted to burnish and create depth through this exercise.
