Today I started this rough sketch for a recipe illustration. The recipe is for charoses, a kind of fruit and nut spread used at Passover. This recipe has only three ingredients--dates, almonds, and oranges--and I worried that that wasn't enough to work with, but I decided to add the leaves from the date palm, the almond tree, and orange blossoms and leaves. That seemed more fun to me. I have been thinking about a circular shape, like a mandala. I was trying to hurry, so I traced the circles using four or five lids taken from my pots and pans cabinet, which made me laugh. I worked in pencil and things got pretty messy. I did a little digital cleanup to make this sketch more presentable. Anyway, I had a good time and I think this will work. To be continued.
