My water color study of a Peony based on Jacqueline Gnott's Instructional Water color DVD "The Queen. I was very pleased with how this turned out. It is sutler then the colored pencil study. the flower fills softer in this water color.

Magnolia

My study of a Northern Magnolia. Used the instruction DVD from Jacquelin Gnott as a basis for this study. From her "My Favorite Things" DVD. I was pleased with all four of the studies. I added colored ink to the pen and ink drawing. The magnolia needed some pink touch to it.

My colored pencil study of a Peony based on Jacqueline Gnott's Instructional Water color DVD "The Queen. I was very pleased with how this turned out. Peony's are so complex, it is easy to get lost in the petals.

My pen and ink study of a peony. Image and idea is from Jacqueline Gnotts instructional DVD "The Queen". When I work on the pen and ink studies I am really forced to plan the shapes and forms. Peonies can seem very chaotic.

Colored pencil drawing of iris study. The idea is based on Jacqueline Gnott's instructional DVD. I was not really please with the background of this drawing. I think it should be darker. I will have to work on Iris's again.

Iris Pencil Drawing

Pencil Drawing 9" by 12"

My study of an iris. The idea and design came from an water color instruction DVD by Jacqueline Gnott. I have purchased several of her instruction DVD's on water color and I am slowly working my way through them. I have not posted very often lately but have been working on these studies. I found the Iris difficult to do and after several false starts these are the results. Still not that pleased with them. The pencil study was ok but the water color one really had me struggling.
