We had the day off from work yesterday so I spent the day drawing this hibiscus seed pod stem. The photo is a bit blurry so I apologize for that but I had fun with the curled up leaves and the fuzzy seed pod. This is the hardy hibiscus that grows everywhere in our area. The flowers on this particular plant are white and get as big as saucers.
I would love to know the medium folks use for the pieces that are posted here. I find that very useful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful depiction of an important stage of the life cycle!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate! Cynthia, it is done in watercolor. I use a lot of layers.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I too love seed pods and the beauty that remains after the bloom.
ReplyDeleteIt's grace itself. I'm painting seeds these days, I'm on olender now. <The subtle tones and essential, curved and dried-up shapes attract me so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elva and Concetta!
