Isaac Newton - Sketchbook - Gouache.

Comments

Like it Lew , I would have thought some truth in your sketch. I think the first thing you’d do if an apple fell on your head would be curse not thing gravity.

Great illustration Lewis. Never tried gouache but it seems to work beautifully here.

Love his expression- obviously before the “ahh” moment!

Great Lewis. My husband had a conker drop on his head this weekend ... who would have thought something so small could have hurt so much so goodness knows what an apple what have done!

He doesn’t look very impressed at discovering a theory Lewis! Love his frock coat.

Those colours are beautiful.

Ah , but has anyone asked the question -What was he doing underneath the apple tree , in the first instance ?

I'm wandering what interesting book that is tucked under his arm. Great picture.

For no particular reason I decided to draw Newton.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
