Found Flower Zendala
I'm loving what Art Clubbers and I are doing with the Found Flowers class. Tomorrow we'll have Part 2 covering a variation on the theme. This reminds me of natural mandalas, those which are made of found leaves and flowers.
This is the first Found Flower Zendala I made. You can see the underpainting using Ecoline watercolors on the left, and how I added exactly the same treatment as my previous Found Flowers pictures:
I didn't really care for the color scheme of it, so I made another one, and treated it differently with some hatched ribbons:
I LOVE this one! Super fun and elegant, reminds me of a vase full of tulips. Here's a close-up for you to inspect:
Feel free to share or pin these images.
Art Clubbers and I worked on the second part of the Found Flowers class creating a beautiful floral Zendala.
More found flowers over watercolors. The class for this style is starting soon!
I spent the US holiday weekend at a much needed remote retreat and found some lilies while I was at it.
I just had to try the found flowers again to see if the first one wasn't just a fluke!
As the end of the year approaches, my self-imposed deadline to add all lessons to the new shop is looming. 3D Grids is now back again in the new shop!
Every once in a while I like to take a break and try something different than drawing. A couple of weeks ago I watched a several videos on how to make crepe paper flowers and even made a few! It was a fun week! From dying the paper to shaping the petals and making the core, it was a fun activity. But don't worry, the fad didn't last too long and I’m back to tangling now., just didn't have the time to post these here.
