Van Gogh ish


I grew a tiny sunflower on my balcony. It's rather wibbly and shrivelled appearance looked fun to draw. I used my new bamboo dip pen I bought from my favourite art shop when we were in Paris. It makes a lovely variable, flowing, chaotic line. Really fun to draw with. This is also from life which I think always improves the results. My aim is to get the personality of what I am painting rather than the accuracy.

So pretty! Loved seeing the pics of your garden. Amazed by how much you've gotten to grow on a balcony.

Meanwhile, I planted 3 herbs on Saturday, and the cats knocked the planter off the deck an hour later. Sigh.
