Scatter the peels of five oranges on a board. Draw.
Not so fast.
The exercise was set up with the instruction to draw each wedge convincingly with shadows and reflected light and at the same time to connect all the wedges so that they would read as a unit. Notice, also, that there’s a gap in the line-up, suggesting a golden section. None of this is easy to execute.
But it looks simple and inviting. And oranges in January…what could be more pleasant!
