| Daffodils of the Rainbow |
These colorful bouquets were done in colored pencil. I painstakingly layered each different area of color with a dark shade for the shadows, a medium shade for the actual color, and a light shade for the highlights. Then I would move on to the next color area and repeat the process. Once again, all the flowers came from a bulb catalog - where else can you find so many types of daffodils? My favorite was the white daffodil with a pink center, although I also like how the white one on the left with the multicolored center came out. The blue bow was fun to draw and sets them off nicely. But I most enjoyed coloring the bows on the envelope and then lifting the flap to split them in half!
As for the flowers below, they are either peonies or oversized begonias, I am not sure. The colors certainly came out vividly - just look at that shockingly pink ribbon. The delicate clumps of daisies set everything off nicely. I think this one looks a little more real than the top one. Both drawings, which are 5x7 cards by the way, made lovely gifts to send to my pen friends in Germany and Austria.
