Today's effort is based on a quick location sketch of an absolutely beautiful sunflower plant that is now going to seed after having been in superb bloom for about a week. It stands all by itself in it's chosen location in a barren yard.
The sketch was done in pen (Pentel PointLiner 0.3mm). That was intentional--so I would have to work with/around errors during the sketching process. It was then painted with Japanese watercolors. Embellishments to the center of the bloom were added with two colors of Posca markers.
The round face of the sunflower is much bigger actuality than what you see here. (Remember, the sketch was with pen.). That said, I don't know if anyone else has seen or looked at this plant or ever will, aside from myself. But this sketch-drawing is my memento of the moments having seen, looked and appreciated its gift of life!
Nice !
