edm #179 an onion
edm #179 an onion - today I bougnt an onion to make turkey orzo soup. I decided to draw it before it went into the pot. My husband called me outside to help paint a Kokopelli on the barn and I almost didn't get back inside in time to get my sketch done! I used Derwent Inktense pencils and W-N watercolors in my wc sketchbook (Strathmore).
Update: Kokopelli is a trickster god of the Native Americans of the Southwest and is usually depicted with a humpback, wild hair, and a flute. He is the god of agriculture, children, fertility, and music.
Truth in advertising: O.K. I admit, I drew the onion while everything else was already in the pot and then I cut a very large chunk off of the onion for the soup while keeping one side in tact so that I could see the colors for painting! By the way, the soup was delicious! Patty
