What a luscious tomato and yummy nuts! Ok, tell me I'm crazy but the tomato looks red! A testament to your talents Kate! I LOVE your pencil work in moleskine! So refined!

Kate the textures are amazing. These are truly beautiful illustrations. How about creating them into postcards. I would love to get some.

Ces Adorio said...

Oh Kate, I just scrolled through your blog and the illustrations are stunning. I love the banana!

Kathleen Rietz said...

Thanks! I do have a lot of images I would love to sell as notecards, but I need to look into the best way to do that. I have been so busy with other projects lately, so for now it is on hold.

Kate - I've only just found this site of yours - I adore your drawings. I can't help wondering how long they all take you, they're just stunnning. I'm going to leave that typo - you deserve all 3 'n's and probably more. :-)

Kathleen Rietz said...

Oh, thanks so much Rachel! I will take that extra N. :)

My drawings take me anywhere from and hour to about 4 hours tops. I do not have a lot of time for them, so I usually complete them in one sitting.

I can really relate to your drawing style. Love the smooth transition in values.

Another nice job filling the space so that the drawing doesn't have any blank, boring spots.

Love the haphazard composition too!
