Pumpkin Painting from still life:
WORK IN PROGRESS ^ (scroll to bottom to see finished version)
Watercolor painting of a hydrangea flower. The inspiration for this came from Cape Cod, which I visit every summer. I took a photo of bloomed Hydrangeas and used that as a reference for this watercolor piece. I created the outline using a copic pen to get the very fine lines you see in the petals and leaves.
"Honeycomb" - The base layer for this original drawing was watercolors in which I layered to get the subtle almost faded look. I came back in with copic fine liners, white gel pens, and colored pencils to draw back in some of those details that the watercolors didn't define. I used an exacto knife to cut out hexagonal shapes representing something similar to honeycomb, which relates to the bees that add to this theme. Physically cutting out these shapes was difficult for me, because it is something I have never tried before, although I think it worked out. I was planning on placing a sheet of lustrous gold to draw together the piece, although I couldn't find anything that suited what I had imagined. Hopefully I will find something that matches my idea and can finish "Honeycomb".
