Artist's Comments

Well...this is going under paintings.
I really use color pencil in a way that looks more like a painting, than drawing...plus there is the watercolor background. Also I often use a solvent with the color pencil...making it indeed very paint like. BUT I didnt do that here.

Anyways, I liked the flower...then I saw the bee, and was hooked! So cute.

I think the reference photo came from scribbletalk...it's a site oriented to color pencil users, but boasts members like JD Hillberry and some other graphite greats.


Anyways, took me about a week off and on while at the Doctors office, waiting for water to boil...etc.

Prismacolors, koh-i-noor, derwent color pencil, and maimeriblu watercolors on Rising Stonehenge.
Warning...stonehenge doesnt really like being used as a watercolor paper.

Photo looks kind of dulled...maybe I can fix that.

I'm amazed that you can get such "painterly" effects with your pencils. This is a technically amazing piece of work, and the simplicity of the composition really belies the work it took to complete. Beautiful!

Nice - and I love glazing with my airbrush, the only opaque paint I have is white, which I rarely use because I rely on the white of the support for highlights.

You realy got the crepe effect on those poppy petals Kelli - very nice. Also like the way you used a light greenish background to contrast the orange flower!

Make my day by visiting my gallery.
I didnt make any artistic decsions with the background...other than deciding to do it in watercolor...the reference photo has a bg like this.
But thanks...I love poppys so it was fun.

Wow this is REALLY beautiful, i really like this. I like the color of the flower and how it stands out from the back ground, and it doesnt blend in to much , so that youll notice the flower, very neat !

Thanks...colored pencil is very time consuming this way, but worth it.
I am by no means anywhere near as good as some...
I am always aspiring...
