Hasty Charoses (Illustration as of May 14, 2020)

This is the recipe illustration I am working on for our food blog, Seasoning for Every Palate.  Charoses is a kind of fruit spread used at Passover, and this year I came up with a very fast version made of dates, almonds, and orange juice.  Making the actual dish was a lot faster than drawing this illustration!  Today I revised the title a bit for the sake of centering the text, and redrew the letters.  By that point, I had very little time left to work on this, but I did start to ink in the lettering and the almond leaves with my Sharpies.  To be continued. . . .
