Process
Process
Start by doing a number of continuous modified line drawings of succulents from these provided photos. Watch the video on drawing succulents.
Select one of these to transfer to a larger sheet of paper
draw a Frame which is slightly smaller then the plant [so it appears the plant is extending beyond the frame]. The video to the right shows the process slightly differently.
Go over your plant lines loosely with your black marker
Using water colours, very lightly start to build up layers in your plants. Continue to layer colours to build up depth, Ensure you allow each layer to dry slighlty before adding the next.
you can then add details to your frame and background through pattern and text.
watch the video to see examples at the end.
