[art] Impatiens flaccida redux

[kaberett]

I have had... a lot... of really stressful and grim paperwork to do over the past few days, so I've been bribing myself with Do A Bit, Then Colour In An Leaf.

Ergo.



Observations from this round:

• I am amused by how obvious the paper buckling is, in the scan
  
• I'm really enjoying the main stem, and some of what I've done with the red-yellow-green gradations
  
• hmm, I appear to have managed greater colour saturation in a couple of places this time
  
• I'm really amused by the differences in texture I'm getting out of the two sets of pencils I'm using
  
• I am still laughing at myself over how alarmed and surprised I was to find my water dish... mostly empty... as I was finishing this up... almost as if... I had been using... water...
  
• still enjoying this hobby

A fine piece of watercolor work.

Oh, that's lovely! Are you using a reference or doing the light and shade from imagination/memory?

[kaberett]

Colouring book come with pre-filled references on the facing page! & there's stippling for shading as well, rather than being strictly lineart only to colour in. Currently I am attempting to Copy The Reference Work for the sake of Getting Used To The Tools At All, but as and when I get to the irises various (& my other faves) I am very likely to go "you know what this is Not A Good Colourscheme for this flower, I'm going to do a Preferred Variant" :)

Oh lovely!

I clicked to embiggen, and quite like the way you did the stem, and also the wee bud on the tippy top of the stem, which goes nicely through three very saturated colors.

YES that is a colour gradient I am particularly pleased with!

I love it, and I also love that you're enjoying it.
