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.
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.
