I really enjoyed drawing the clematis earlier this week so on Wednesday I decided to draw something else that's blooming in the garden: a variegated honeysuckle called 'Mint Crisp'. When choosing it I didn't give a thought to the fragrance so I was surprised to notice how immensely enjoyable it was to have that delicious scent to bask in while sketching.
I also wanted to experiment with the watercolors on silk but didn't know what to paint, so I decided to do a painted version of the same honeysuckle branch:
Not awesome, but I think kind of interesting to see a sketch turned into a painting.
This morning it's pouring and I didn't want to venture into the garden in search of subject matter so I chose a photo of lisianthus to sketch. I kept getting interrupted, losing my place and having a hard time finding it again so the second flower I drew (the top one) is not as good as the first. It's frustrating to make something and feel I could do better but I'm trying to let it go and share nonetheless.
