The letter H, 30 day challenge

Here is H. This is a hubbard squash, believe it or not. I pictured it to be a little more round and a lot more green! I am really starting to miss using other styles and was very tempted to use more of a splatter on this one (to match my Saturday mood), but that is not what I challenged myself, is it?

The letter F, 30 day challenge

Well it's been a wee while and I am seriously behind with this challenge so I'm going to have to catch up furiously over the next few days! Here is a feijoa. A lovely little fruit available in very few countries. I first discovered it when I arrived in New Zealand. Anyone that has not yet tasted this is missing out!

The drawing was a little difficult, I got the shape wrong, but in keeping with my little challenge-to-self, there could be no redrawing and it has to stay.

The letter G, 30 day challenge

So this is a guava. I haven't seen one for years and I have looked everywhere. This is one of my favourite fruits in the world—yum! My water colour paints are starting to look a bit haggard, I will put a pic up once I am done with the whole alphabet, if they last that long.

The letter E, 30 day challenge

So I went with eggplant. This was a hard one, such a smooth skin drawn in cross hatch. And to get purple out of those cheap water colours (as mentioned in previous posts), this one has taken me the longest of all the food so far. To me it doesn't show, not my favourite, I'm afraid!

There is another style I would like to try, but alas! I promised myself I would finish and stick to the style,  so that's what I'm going to do, I'll leave that for another 30 day'r!

The letter D, 30 day challenge

Well this was a little harder, firstly, I didn't want to draw a date because I don't eat them at all, in fact they are high on my list of food dislikes, so I ended up with a dill pickle. A little ugly looking but makes up for it on taste and goodness!

The letter C, 30 day challenge

Hi all

Still going strong, though I have been totally tempted to change the style!

Here is C.
