Quick Flower Sketches – Part 2

Posted on September 13, 2015 | 21 Comments

I hope you enjoyed my quick flower sketches from yesterday!

Today, I sketched an arrangement of “Peonies and Orchids” in charcoal:

I then painted it with my fingers and acrylic paint:

I thought it needed a little something more, so I added a few color pencils for definition:

It has an oriental feel to me.  What do you think?!  I’d love to hear from you!

Happy Painting!  🙂

    I agree totally – that’s entirely the vibe I got from the first sketch onwards. 🙂

    Nice progression of steps Jill. Painting with your finger is a very good effect. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. Have a great day.

    It does feel a bit Asian, possibly because of the cherry-blossom look of the orchids? 🙂 I think it looks great with or without the colored pencil definition.
