What does the fruits and vegetables we eat today look like in the past?

A renaissance painting by Giovanni Stanchi showcased a watermelon with ‘starring’, six-triangular ‘flesh’ pieces, in contrast with today’s watermelon. The watermelon had less of the bright color we see today.

Watermelon, which originally came from Africa, became common in European gardens around the 1600s. Over time, through selective breeding, the flesh of watermelon gradually became brighter due to the increase in lycopene. The size of the watermelon also grew. While some have claimed that watermelon ‘starring’/‘swirls’ occur due to poor pollination and weather, causing the watermelon to be under-watered, the watermelon showcased in the painting looks ripe through its color of the flesh and seeds.

Currently, in the 21st century, we are trying to breed watermelons without seeds. Maybe the future generation need to remember the seeded watermelon through photos 🍉

Other fruits and vegetables also looked different in their ancient wild forms.

Ancient banana: more large and tough seeds.

Ancient corn: smaller than domesticated corn, taste dry and barely edible.

Ancient eggplant: smaller than domesticated eggplant, used to have spikes attached to plants.

I tend to sketch objects with which I can associate some emotions. It always works as a drive force💫

Cooking colour wheel in my kitchen.

I came to realisation that my fondness of food is sort of affected by the colour of food too. Hence I found it best to form a colour wheel through stuff i usually find in my kitchen.

Value of colour

Lightness and darkness is like the what gives soul to a coloured object. Here I tried to click B/W picture of a colour wheel composition where I came to an understanding that the objects with higher colour value and the most brightness in the form of white light or patch in the B/W picture and vice versa

Quick human anatomy

Just capturing and getting a rough idea of how humans put use to their limbs and joints. 🤸🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🧘🏾‍♀️✌🏽

Going old school way for capturing a memory.

This one's from the first trip with friends after months of being at home during lockdown. Realising what a blessing it is to be out and with your people.

But realised that we all couldn't manage to click picture of all of us together. So I just decided to do this quick sketch later on to treasure the moment. And it worked 😌

Isometric drawings should be counted as a stress releasing activity.

But it can get as complicated as trying to escape a maze if not paid enough attention 🤷🏾‍♀️

Medium: Charcoal and coloured pencils.

According to me, drawing objects in isometry is like giving life to objects.

Theme: Items of interests during a disaster.

During this pandemic I realised, we don't need much to lead a healthy and happy life!

Here I have tried to capture few things that I would end up carrying with me if at all a disaster comes other than the usual necessary things.

Medium: In all the illustrations I have worked on details with marker or charcoal pencils over water colour splashed background. It's all done free hand.
