Sea Holly

sea_holly4Well, it looks like this drawing could use a little help from Photoshop as it’s very washed out.     So, you may see this again soon and a little darker.   I’ve taken a little license to add a little purple to what were really very blue flowers…hence the name “Big Blue” and I love the name “Sea Holly”!.  I used my favoriet sketching method…draw with ink pens (flairs), then work it over with brush and water.  I usually try to warm up with some sketches before jumping into a pastel or watercolor and I’ve been absent lately  visiting the Art Festival, etc. Maybe on to pastel tomorrrow!

    I’ve tried to grow sea holly. The colors are gorgeous. Your picture is a lovely reminder.
