| flower in white vase |
I had decided not to paint anything today. So I cleaned and dusted and even moved some boxes that had to be stored. And I cut vines out in the yard. I went and bought groceries, and even bought a hamburger at the mall, to eat. When I had done those things, I decided that I still had the energy to draw (only), a flower I had seen out in the yard. It is relatively rare I think. It doesn't always bloom.
So, I started to draw, this simple, one flower in a vase, drawing. The idea was that I would paint it tomorrow. Anyway, as you can see, I finished it. I think I got the vase straight this time! In fact the vase took the most time to draw!!
And having drawn the picture, I couldn't resist painting it. I had wanted to try a blue wall behind the flower. That too proved harder than I had anticipated. The strokes, the evenness, the amount of water on the brush for such a large space. It was not easy, but I have learned a bit about backgrounds!!
Anyway, this is the work for today!
