I have finished the second Flowering Currant(ribes sanguineum) leaf and started in on the third, beginning with stippling of the veining. You may notice with the two finished leaves that the top one is darker, this was done to distinguish between the larger leaf being seen from the underside and the smaller from the top. To accomplish this I am using more than one pen for this piece, each being modified to create different size dot. The effect will be enhanced more with the use of translucent watercolour. This is slow process indeed, but honestly I enjoy it for the meditative quality of the work. |
