Done! Rhododendron x 'Neon', watercolor on 11x17 Arches, 2020 #botanicalart #issaquahart #naturepainting #watercolor #botanicalillustration #rhododendron #seattleart
Almost finished! This is a final-project piece for my Cornell class; it's a rhododendron (var. 'Neon') in full bud. I'm pretty happy with how this one's coming out, though I still have a bit more final shading to do. #botanicalillustration #botanical
Oyster mushrooms in graphite. (IG isn't friendly to tall-format work, is it?) #graphite #drawing #naturedrawing #issaquahart #seattleart #fungi #fungilove
And done! Helleborus x ballardiae 'Pink Frost' 11x17, colored pencil #issaquahart #seattleart #naturedrawing #botanicalillustration #botanicalart #hellebore #coloredpencil #prismacolor
Still in progress: hellebore. I hoped I'd finish today, but I did get closer. #botanicalillustration #botanicalart #issaquahart #naturepainting #coloredpencil #prismacolor #worksinprogress
In progress: hellebore in colored pencil. This is due Friday and I feel like I may have bitten off more than I can chew. Mixing all these grayish purplish greenish pinks and pinkish grayish purplish greens is fun but it takes forever. #botanicalillus
American holly seedling (Ilex opaca) who lived in my paint cup for a few days. #botanicalillustration #watercolor #watercolorandink #botanicalart #issaquahart #naturepainting
So many colors! I needed an autumn leaf to draw (?!) and this one last oakleaf hydrangea was hanging on in the front yard. It did not hold up well once it was picked, though, and I had to rush. #botanicalillustration #drawing #prismacolor #coloredpen
