Campagne Bread
I bought this French bread on my way home and I have just finished sketching. I took care not to make the flour powders removed before sketching. On the 23rd of May, 2009.

Walnut bread
I have been out in Tokyo for a week. I missed oil pastels while I was away... so right after getting back, I bought this bread as a subject and I have just sketched it in oil pastel. On the 20th of May, 2009.

Apple
My wife bought this apple together with the bruised mangoes. This is also partly bruised. I have been trying sketching apples quite a lot but I wanted to try another paper this time. Sketched on the 10th of May, 2009.

Bruised mango
My wife has bought packed mangoes at low price today —this is one of them. She said she had thought these mangoes might be bruised but they were good as a painting subject then she bought them. Yes, she was right. Bruised fruits are allegorical. I used the black paper to produce Baroque-like effect and sketched the wrapping paper with the mango to show that this is left unsold. Sketched on the 8th of May, 2009.
Now, I have changed the way of uploading the images in this weblog from this entry. You may see the larger image by clicking the thumbnail shown above.

Campagne Bread
It's been a month since I last updated this blog but I keep sketching. I hope I can show the works here soon... I tried a new paper for oil pastels —Daler Rowney Murano paper. This is the one. I will keep on trying this paper. :) This bread was sketched on the 29th of April, 2009.

Sesame bread
I love this kind of hard French breads (not only as foods but subjects, too) so I cannot stop sketching when I buy them. :p This is painted on the 8th of March, 2009.

Stainless-steel cup with a self portrait
This is a stainless steel cup. I put this on a table to draw then you may find me somewhere in the reflected image on the surface. Sketched on the 7th of March, 2009.

Peeled mikan
I peeled this mikan (japanese mandarine orange) partly for sketching. I tried the same subject three years ago but the oil pastel I use had changed a lot. I see how I like Senneliers and how I developed the handling way of OPs. This was painted on the 11th of February, 2009.

Valentine Cat
This is a Valentine chocolate of Japanese sweetshop named Club Harie (Japanese-style is under the brand of Taneya). Of course, I sketched this on the 14th of February, 2009.
