I have some happy flowers to share with you today. I had fun painting and sketching this garden inspired piece, hope you enjoy. π
Happy Sunday, friends!Β π
I painted a loose floral on 12 x 18 inch Canson watercolor paper. Using a large round #14 brush helped when painting these big leaves and petals.
Tip: Let the white of the paper show through in some areas of your flowers and leaves, it adds a little sparkle to the piece.
Laying down ink on top makes the painting more lively and fun. The painting underneath acts as a guide and inspiration to the sketching on top. In some areas, I follow the flow of the painting and other times go off script and sketch what I’m feeling.
I hope you are inspired to create art and do what you love. Thank you for sharing this creative journey with me. Until next time, share a smile and shine on!
