This week brought another flower delivery from Boone Fox Farm. I took the bouquet to my Wednesday paint group and started a light pencil drawing on a watercolor journal page. I used gouache paints and lots of water, applying loose washes where I saw colors. After the paint dried, I added flower shapes with pencil and darker paint. After returning home, I added more details, but left some parts undefined to suggest the airy nature of the flowers.
The flowers in this bouquet are mostly the same as last week’s bouquet, but the peach and oranges of the snapdragons and foxgloves are warmer than the cool pinks in the previous bouquet.
