ATC Still Life

The Wet Canvas Forum I belong to the latest ATC trade project was Still Life.  I enjoy this format very much.  My cards were done in mediums from pen and ink to watercolour and coloured pencils.
 Ref photo-mprince.        This is in watercolour a pleasant arrangement of a pear and grapes. 
 I like setting up my own still life arrangements to paint. Vegetables from my kitchen are always interesting. 
The above is in coloured pencil.
 Onions and garlic are good subjects for watercolours.
Ref photo by wtrclgrl       It was an interesting exercise to do this in pen and sepia ink.
Fuchia ref. Stephie20             The fuchia called for coloured inks with new ink pens.
Ref photo-LadyCarol               I used Faber Castel water soluble coloured pencils. 
   It has a different quality than watercolour paints.
This on was an exercise from a coloured pencil instruction   It is my first attempt at glass. I need more practice.   These ATCs, all 3.5 x 2.5 inches will be with their new owners by now or soon depending how good the post is. In return I will have an ATC from each recipient.

Great job on these!!! The onions and garlic is my favorite. I haven't done any ATCs in a while.
