Purple Found Flowers
I repeated the exercise of the Found Flowers, wanted to see if it was a fluke or if flowers really could find me :-) Once again, I started with a tremendously sloppy watercolor painting. Here is the before and after the flowers found me :-)
I'm surprised at how warm and vibrant the final picture is, compared to the drab colors of the underpainting.
And here is a close-up of the final for you to inspect:
I'll just have to keep trying these again and again.
Feel free to 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.
