Zooming in part 2

I wanted to re-create this piece on canvas.

For part of this, I dug out the oilbars and forgot that I needed turps to clean my hands.

Thankfully hubby was on hand with some thinners.

I was encouraged to take a slice across part of the previous painting and this is what I did!

I love the texture, the energy and the freedom.  A far cry from my normal style.

I had to choose three words to describe my plant, and sum them up with one encompassing word.  Thinking of those words, the brief was to draw less than 15 lines to describe the plant.

I chose to add black to accentuate the "spaces" and white and green to various parts of the leaves/stalks.  The pink and yellow adds a nod towards the tulip colours.

During the creative drawing course, this piece was to be a "letter box" view of part of the flowers in front of me, thinking about the "spaces".  It could have been landscape or portrait. I chose the flower heads and put together oil pastel and ink to see what it does.

This is a piece from the "Creative Drawing" course, in the style of Leonardo Da Vinci.

Bet you won't guess what mixed media is used...
