hey friends ~ happy Friday {thank goodness!}
not sure what to call this piece ~ maybe it’s a red sunflower… would love to hear suggestions for a creative name on this piece? i’m fresh out … {it’s been one of those weeks}.
i have lots of time in this one, and i was pretty patient, all in all! it was enjoyable, gradualling adding microbead details and color one by one. it all began with a fairly “loosely” created, watercolor drawing, using the twinkling h20’s as a base for the flower… {because why put in details if you’re going to cover it up?}
wish i had thought to take pictures right from the beginning, but was not thinking … either clearly, or far ahead!
at any rate, there is a progression of sorts, as I added the microbeads, doodling with a white pen, and adding more contrast and depth of color using golden highlights with yellow, orange and red watercolor overlay, glaze pens, and finally, a black one for a bit of extra bold pattern.
