Bouquet with Small Shapes & Dots

This photo on Pinterest caught my eye

I was fascinated by how all the small strokes

came together to form flowers

I decided to paint it with markers

As you can see, my version turned out quite differently!

This is why I am always saying it’s okay to “copy” other artists,

your work will turn out to be completely your own!

I started by placing the flower centers

where I wanted the flowers to be and began working

on the darkest flower near the bottom

I added petals in different shades of pink and purple

I know that it looks like a hot mess right now

but this is when you have to be patient and keep going!

I proceeded with the yellow flower in the same way

On to the light pink flower near the top

Then came the red flower, which forgot to take photos of~

I get carried away sometimes 😂

I added dots around the flowers, and green stems and leaves

Then of course I had to add some details with a black finer pen

“Bouquet with Shapes & Dots” marker and ink on mixed media paper

Just simple shapes put together to form flowers!

Be Fearless!

    I love how your version turned out. Although purple is my favorite color, for some reason I really liked your yellow flower!
