Narrowleaf or Swamp Sunflower - Pam Johnson Brickell
Last week, I finally found a semi-quiet road where I could pull over to stop and quickly pick a stem of these sunflowers. The top flowers started to wilt the next day! Guess they don't like tap water!
I used Derwent pastel pencils that I've had for years but never realized they are water soluble!!!!! I like the painterly effect. I did the calligraphic type with traditional watercolors using a rigger brush. The rest of the body copy was written with a Micron 005 pen.

Lovely post, Pam...your lettering adds SO much, too. I'm envious!
ReplyDeleteLovely Pam! I have trouble signing my name with watercolour, never mind doing the whole script, rigger or not!
ReplyDeleteDelicate and lovely use of yellows - and I do enjoy the calligraphy added.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate, Maree & Rhonda! I keep practicing with calligraphy. One day it will be second nature....... that's the goal anyway :)
