Roses and More to Come...

6/26/2016

 
I've continued working on my flower drawings this week.  Roses and mock orange.  Nothing smells as sweet as the mock orange!  Not from my garden but just as wonderful.

I've been wanting to add more design to my flower drawings.  My sister suggested looking at Mucha and Sullivan for inspiration.  I think that is a wonderful excuse to visit the University arts library.  I'm not sure how quickly I can get there, but the idea is compelling.  I'll let you know how it goes. 

More to come...

Love,love the roses. Once again, all the different renderings of the centers were so life like - just beautiful. I also appreciated the faded rose. I am amazed how real you can make them look. Practice makes perfect.

In life, I prefer my roses n bud and bloom, but in your drawings, the overblown and fading flowers are some of the most beautiful. The line work in the mock orange is especially descriptive--bold in outline and the complex centers, while the petals are very softly modeled--even on a white page, you've made the flowers -seem- white.
