Flower Studies


The nasturtium and zinnia seeds that I planted in pots in my kitchen 2 months ago have grown to the point of blooming.  I thought I'd celebrate their blossoms with an entry in my art journal.

I also included flowers from a small bouquet from Trader Joe's.

I enjoyed laying out the pages in boxes and rectangles, & fitting each flower into its own space.

Each began as a sketch with a permanent felt-tipped pen, then I added color with  Caran D'Ache Neocolor II watercolor crayons. I used a water brush pen to blend the pigments.
