Projects I'm Working On

The Pink flowering dogwood

The flowering dogwood

I started with the cluster above, and reduced it to just three flowers using photoshop.

I then moved the middle flower around,


then got rid of it altogether in the final image.


Here is the drawing,


and some brush strokes and colors I'm trying out for the watercolor.


I plan to add a small bird in the center between the two flowers, maybe one like this:

A yellow-billed magpie
 
Eventually, I will transform the whole image into a repeat design. I won't change the structure of the flowers much, except to work with placing the bird in front or behind the flowers.
