©2011 Carolyn A. Pappas, 7/31/11 sketchbook (Leftover Plums). Colored pencil in large handbook sketchbook.
I sketched these leftover plums the other day after baking one of my favorite fruit desserts, plum crumb (recipe below). It has been a really long time since I ever sketched something in colored pencil for practice. I felt rusty and I want to start sketching using colored pencils more often. Here, I used four different Prismacolor pencils: magenta, tuscan red, indigo blue and yellow ochre.
Plum Crumb
Toss 4 cups quartered fresh plums with: ½ cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Arrange in an 11 x 7 baking dish.
Crumble together and spread over plums: 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, 1 beaten egg.
Then drizzle 1 stick of melted butter over the top and bake at 375° F for 45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
