Sometimes creating art takes a little longer then expected. I have been working on this for a few days and of course by the title and pictures you can tell I am still working on it. I drew out and erased a couple of times. I finally settled on a drawing. I went over it with a Copic Multiliner.
Once that was done it was time to decide on a background, I used watercolor, I was not worried about the ink, it is water proof, also I wasn't worried about painting over the flowers or branches because I will be painting them with gouache.
This part was done last night, I was able to get the background and branches painted before I had to call it a night. Still had to go to the J-O-B in the morning. I was actually a little pissed off this morning because I had to go to work when all I wanted to do is keep painting. So after my wonderful husband left for work and the kids were busy doing their thing, I went back to painting. Headphones on, good music playing and me in my own little world.
I still have a bit left, I was able to do the leaves and Daffodils done tonight along with finding a few white spots that I missed and will have to carefully go back in with the watercolors. I haven't decided if I am going to add to the background yet or not. I was thinking of adding some Zentangles to it. Let me know what you think, it would be nice to get some feed back.
This painting is not meant to make since, in no way would it, I love drawing flowers and trees and that is what I did. It has given me some ideas for my next painting but this one has to be finished first.
