In this video I show you how to work out the shape of an apple – how to draw it and then how to paint it in watercolour.
When you have drawn or painted yours, why not share it on Instagram or twitter @shoorayner with the hashtag #shoorayner.

In this video I discuss photography with my friend Caroline Silverwood Taylor http://silverwoodtaylor.com Caroline is currently writing a Doctoral Theses about photography and liminality – Liminality is all about crossing thresholds – the betwixt and between.
Drawing from photographs can be about making a literal copy or it can be drawing on the essence, the story, the concept, the moment or the idea imbued within the image.
Copying is a great way to learn and understand shape, contrast and space. Drawing on the image and vision of the photograph inspires the artist to create new work from a new understanding.
Mrs Rayner and I sometimes go away with Caroline and her husband, the crime fiction author, Andrew Taylor http://lydmouth.co.uk
Caroline and I often end up having philosophical discussions about photography, drawing and all things visual. We decided to record a conversation in the garden conservatory at Fountains Hall at Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire – where we were staying last week. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/fountains-abbey-and-studley-royal-water-garden
I had a request to draw curly hair yesterday and today I see on the TV that tomorrow is #WorldAfroDay So, what should I do? Ignore the signs from the Universe or show you how to draw an Afro hairstyle?
You Got it! Here is a video showing how to draw an afro hairstyle real easy – step by step – for beginners and experienced artists alike. This drawing involves quite a bit of cross-hatching to build up the tone and squiggly scribbling to get the texture – techniques you can use in many other drawings.
