There was a time, when I never held a Copic in my hands. Thankfully, this was promptly changed by a wonderful gift from my hubby. The pear drawings presented here are my very first experiments with this wonderful medium. I immediately fell in love, and wanted to get more colors. It took me a while … Continue reading Pears Copic Drawings

Apple, pear on the floor.. who's the pretties of them all? I have worked on a number of still life paintings, and especially apple and pear paintings lately, and I started to get bored of plain backgrounds. That's when I had a thought of mentally transporting some of the still life setups into the outdoor … Continue reading Fruity Road Block, apple & pear painting
This cameo is one of the first resin series called "Floating fruits" done by Oksana. This one of a kind pendant features a miniature pear on a branch suspended seemingly in midair inside an antique bronze cameo.

Anyway, let's stay on topic here! I tried to make the apple to be the focal point of this painting. The pear … Continue reading Apple and Pear on the Table, oil painting
This is indeed The Pear for me, since it's the first pear I tried to paint with oil paint. I love the way it turned out, and it might even be my favorite painting of the year.

Is the pear being filled with color, or is the vividness gets sucked out of it? That's for you to decide depending on how you see the glass … Continue reading Geometric Life of Pear, watercolor painting

This year, my paintings are dominated by various pears. In this painting, I decided to make the pear as juicy as possible. I keep painting them because it feels like more can be done or something can be improved. At the same time, I study the form in general. The question is how to make … Continue reading Juicy Pear, watercolor painting
Pair of pears is probably my favorite pun %) This is why I have so many paintings of two pears! This is another experiment in watercolors. I think, I overdid it a little with the shadows here, but I enjoy seeing the way my paintings change and evolve. This still life painting is 8.5 by … Continue reading Pair of pears, watercolor painting
I keep a bunch of fake fruits on the table for the times when I'm too lazy to get an actual fruit or vegetable, or simply can't like with this whole quarantine deal. I just turn them and paint over and over, all I care about is the shadows on the shape ^_^ I might … Continue reading Green pear, watercolor painting
