Fearless Friday, Fun with Flowers
Last week we painted a simple Bird on a branch with watercolor
One of my good friends and a loyal reader, Leslie Anne Tarabella
was inspired by this painting and wrote a special post about it
Leslie Anne is a talented published author,
Please pop over to her blog here
and enjoy her always entertaining thoughts and stories
You can purchase her books there too!
Let’s play with markers today and have some fun with flowers
This is a different way to approach a subject
This is the inspiration photo I used
First, the simple shapes of the pink flowers drawn with marker
Yellow and peach shapes for the other flowers
3 shades of green for the leaves, stems and foliage areas
and it’s starting to look like something!
Gray lines for the vase
Flower petals and centers were drawn with a .05 fine liner pen
Yellow roses
Peach petals
Leaf shapes and scribbles
Letting the liner pen be loose and going outside the colors
into the white adds interest and vibrance
Then I added blue for water in the vase
More scribbles, squiggles and lines to finish
“Scribble Flowers” 9″ x 12″ alcohol marker and ink on mixed media paper
Have some fun with color, shapes and scribbles
Be Fearless!
