….or the Arum Lily. I have a clump of them in my little wildlife pond in the garden and as it was such a glorious afternoon, I popped out and sketched for 10 minutes or so. I don’t like being out longer becaue I’m a gingery Celt and burn in the sun.
I have been pasting pieces of ripped brown wrapping paper into my sketchbook, to break up the tyrrany of the white page. I drew the outline with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen, size F in sepia and worked up the layers of white with Winsor & Newton drawing ink and a dip pen. The background has a smudge of white conte crayon and each spadix coloured with W&N yellow drawing ink.

Very nice.

The part that grabs me is the texture popping through in the flowers and background. I realize most of it was from your hand, but part is from the brown paper. Excellent piece!

Thank you – the wrapping paper is so versatile, one side is very smooth, the other textured. Ming is pushing my hands!!!!!!!
It’s really nice to see a flower sketch by you. Beautiful. 😀
Thank you – I rarely do them because they’re so difficult 🙂
Beautiful sketch.
Thank you 🙂
