Son and Grandson bought me this beautiful pot of pansies for Mothers' Day back in May, and they are just now beginning to fade away.

So I have had it in my head to try and draw some flowers. Tangles are one thing -- flowers are another! But I found this flower design on line, with step by step drawing instructions, and decided to give it a go. These are the finished product. I am still fooling around with colour...this was good practice!
. I have been looking for some good coloured pencils. I have a set of Prismacolours but the colours don't seem brilliant enough for me. I had heard that Laurentian coloured pencils are the best, but of course they don't make them anymore. Oh how great are Thrift Shops! I have been scouring a number of them for Laurentian pencils and now have a box full of beautiful bright colours! The colours (on my computer anyway) are very accurate.
Oh good for you, Kay! I was thinking of going back to birds and flowers. We are going to have a great time. I'm not familiar with the Laurentien pencils. They must be expressly Canadian or possibly French. I love pansies too. That is a very pretty display of them.
ReplyDeletePractice makes perfect, so they say (whoever they are) but these are perfect already. Brilliant.
