More lilies considered....

I have not been able to draw in daylight since the weekend, until today that is (and typically today is very grey and rainy).  I decided to draw some lovely lilies I have in a vase, but just concentrating on the lines - not trying to deal with the shading.  I'm fairly happy with the pictures - it's definitely all good practice!

The perfume from the flowers is almost overwhelming!  I'm waiting for the sneezing to start!





The sun is just trying to break through now, so I'm going to settle down and see if I can work on a painting I started a couple of weeks ago.  I do like Thursdays!

  3. Great line drawings - and the layouts work really well. I like the different views. And, yes, lilies have a strong scent!

  4. Love lillies, can't tolerate the perfume though! Your drawings are delicate and lovely - I particularly like the top one.

  5. I love lines; lines are our friends! ;) These are both terrific! And I really really like that left hand flower on the moleskine sketchbook; maybe it's the angle, but it came out wonderful!
