Flower 4.75 x 6.75 in.

This flower I drew first with my Rapidograph pens, then colored it in with Derwent Artists Pencils and used sansodor to mix the colors. Perhaps because the red is not so bright, the orange showed up better in this scan. Happily I remembered to scan it before I put it into its frame.

Have a lovely day!

 This is the last of this set of flowers. #264 seems to have scanned ok, but #265 lost it's orange. Hopefully I can figure out a better way to color correct fast for the next set of flowers.

Have a happy day!

 Two more flowers today. Doodling flowers is soothing. Since I don't use pencil or erase on my ATCs, flowers are the most relaxing. They grow out more or less symmetrically from a center point.

Stop and smell the flowers today,

ATC Flower Color #2

I really like the brightness I am getting with the Derwent Inktense colored pencils, but I think my scanner has issues with the bright colors. Number 259 ended up being more muted than I had intended (in real life too, not just on the screen), but I learned quite a bit about the medium and the result is a series of bright flowers.

Have a lovely day!

ATC Flower Color #1

On Deb Ammerman's  (her web site here) suggestion in a comment on my blog, I got a few Derwent Inktense colored pencils (I am extremely lucky that my local Jareer carries Derwent products) and have been experimenting with them. The next series of posts are flowers I did with my rapidograph pen and my new Inktense pencils. They are pretty smooth and when water is added, their color really can intensify. One thing I am happy about with these is that once the color is dry, it stays put. This means that there is less bleeding and mudding of edge colors.

For some reason my scanner has been taking out most of the orange color when I scan my drawings. I have been trying to put some of the orange back in (quickly) with moderate success.

Experiment with color today and let it brighten your day,

One older butterfly that was lost and found and a newer butterfly that I doodled like a flower are today's selections.

For some reason I chose not to color the butterflies body. It could have been an oversight or a deliberate decision, at this point, I don't remember...

Have a great day!

In amongst drawing mushrooms and butterflies, I doodles two more flowers :)

I sure like my Rapidograph pens, they give a nice clean line, their tip doesn't get fatter with wear, and I can refill them.

On number 237 I used a grey Prismacolor pencil (or two or three) to shade some parts.

Have beautiful day!
