sketching olives video

I received a lot of lovely comments on my timelapse watercolour pencil sketch of vegetables last week. I was asked if I could show one in real-time.

This is a 15 minute video. Next time I may figure out to have appropriate music playing in the background.

A container of mixed olives. I chose this as I wanted to use an obscure colour that I do not carry in my everyday sketch kit. Olive Green Yellowish. You can see it is perfect for olives, but probably not much else in life.
I used a few other colours from my daily sketchkit:

  • Caput Mortum
  • Black
  • Cold Grey V (for the plastic container)

I put the pencils out on the table beforehand. I began by sketching the different olives in each colour as I changed olives,

I used a serviette (offscreen) to squeeze water from the waterbrush to clear the colour from its tip between colours.

Let me know if you have any questions.
