A New Project

I want to play with a couple more roses before I start on another "Pond" drawing that I planned with the Sedge Frog piece.
So I begin with transferring my sketch on to some beautiful smooth Fabriano paper.

And then the fun begins.....softly, gently, slowly.

How many colours do you think you may need for a cream rose with a pale pink centre???
This many.......plus more!

Todays progress.

I love the gentle and light blending on this rose. For me this kind of work takes on a meditative quality that I truly love.
I'll share more as it evolves.
Thank you to those of you who pop by and allow me to share my art with you.  I really appreciate your encouragement and lovely comments.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
