This week Linda is sharing this video seen here on YouTube by Leisls artistic studio that does some really loose simple Cosmo flowers. These are a fairly "new" to me flower and I've had them a couple of years now, they re-seed and the ones I have tend to be white so, I thought it was fun to see them done in Pinks. Mine are in the weedy green stage right now with no buds forming yet so, I did not go out and shoot photos of that.
This is arches cold press in an A6 size. with some water soluble pencil marks for centers and stems tops.
I did the wash and splatters with an 16 round brush. And walked away to let it air dry.
I used a smaller round brush for the petals because, this is a small piece of paper and I felt like I probably would have gotten larger petals that looked a little more real-ish with a bigger brush but, this is what it was.
And as I looked at the photo above this one I decided there were too many "buds" and not enough blooms so, after I added more darker pink to the centers I added more water to the one kitty corner left of the center flower to extend its petals out longer.
Like so,
And then I started adding random greenery with some sap green. and some yellows to the center facing blooms.
I did trim down that painted panel with an rectangle spellbinders die and I mounted it to an A7 piece of Textured Neenah Peppered Moss cardstock and then I decided it needed just a bit more paint in the crevices of the open blooms and some detailing vein lines on the petals. So, I did add that after it was on the card. I am not sure what I am going to do with this as of yet so, it has no words on it right now. If you'd like to play along with us you can
find the challenge details here at SCS. That's about it from me, I hope you are doing well & thanks for stopping by.
