There's a big difference in the offerings at the farmers' market as summer winds down--- there are many fewer flowers, fewer kinds of vegies. It's the second- to- last week of peaches. Corn is going, going, gone. Acorn squashes, those stolid little citizens, are making their first appearances. Here's, though, a hearty bouquet I found and bought. And drew, of course. And painted.
Thinking it might be fun to show some of the stages, too. But, then again, it may not be fun at all since I left out the whole last phase. Oh well, you can't complain--it's free.
So much vitality... Can't imagine people wouldn't like them!

I had no idea this was pencil. More, please. (With all the steps!)

Thanks for the pencil info. I thought it was ink! That actually makes more sense with watercolor and being able to earase. Cool beans~!

Thank you, everyone. T, I got carried away as I was finishing and forgot to take pix! N, I use an 8b pencil for drawing and it does smear, but that is what kneaded erasers are for ;D. I should go back and spray the drawing now--thanks for reminding me.

What do you use for the black outline? Does it ever smear on you? Oh, by the way, absolutely stunning. I love your florals. Always.

Pretty, pretty I can smell them (and even unscented flowers smell clean) - sad to see summer season things go but don't you think autumn is more abundant? The hedgerows around here are groaning with blackberries (hence my inky-stained fingers and scratched hands) and the strawberries are giving way to damsons .... mmmmm
