Draw apples with a found tool (scraper from scratch board kit), a business card and powder sifters. This was a tough challenge because I have never drawn fruit or any other still life. I had a huge amount of trouble trying to decide where the light was hitting each apple so I made a little set-up to better see what was going on. Also, I used a paper towel to create the texture under the apples, a second found tool.

Here is my set-up for the fruit sketch. I think this took longer than the actual drawings. I wanted to create strong shadows like you see on the real still life paintings but I had so many light sources in my room that I had an absurd number of shadows. I shut all the lights off and turned the flashlight on and could really see the apple shape in the strong shadows. Hope this came across in the powdered glass.
