Send Me No Flowers

 

I belong to the three clubs which make up the Awesome Art School. These include the Mixed media Society, Fun Fab Drawing Club and the Celtic Collective. I participated in tutorial crossover lessons between the drawing club and the mixed media club. Each lesson has videos showing the steps used, with a lovely portrait for a reference used in both lessons. 

The lesson in the drawing club was in graphite, and I did it with a Blackwing-Matt pencil in my tan toned sketchbook. For the lesson in the mixed media I used Prima and Jane Davenport watercolors, blackliner pens and more.

The lovely reference has a head full of flowers, but I chose not to use the flowers, but instead designed their hair styles.

The work done in both clubs was a great experience with using a reference and using a variety of mediums. I love my resulting pieces!
