| 6/7/16 brush pen, colored pencil |
One of my favorite things about taking sketchabouts in the ‘hood is admiring the flowers in my neighbors’ gardens. A few days ago I
spotted some brilliant orange and yellow lilies growing against a fence. With
flowers, it’s always hard to resist color, but I also know that I can learn
more from using only value tones. To keep myself from being tempted, I pulled
out my little red Field Notes and sketched an orange lily with nothing but a black
brush pen and white colored pencil.
Of course, I can only resist for so long. Right after that
sketch, I pulled out my colored pencils for the yellow lily growing nearby.

Both are so different, but great!!! They look really nice on the red paper.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joan! It's really fun to try the same subject twice in very different ways.
