Calligraphy, Sketches and Demonstration Painting

Calligraphy

The hiragana words below are ruijiana airisu (Louisiana iris) for those who want to practice their calligraphy. The columns are read from right to left.

Sketch

Here is a relatively simple sketch of a Louisiana iris blossom for practice.

Demonstration Painting

Note that this iris has three levels of petals and sepals. In my painting guidance below, I refer to them as the center petals, middle layer, and outer petals. For an example of the warifude technique, refer to Lesson Module 12's passion fruit demonstration painting.
