Sketching in Winter

Lace cap hydrangea in a neighbor’s garden
I just bring Nature indoors when I want to do some sketching in Winter. The color palette is more subdued, but still beautiful. I stole this lace cap hydrangea from a flower bed in my neighborhood just so that I could paint it. (Guilty, guilty.)
Watercolor sketch in my nature journal
I may have to try another sketch and really bring out the subtle colors.

I love the last sketch! The texture of the flecked florets is particularly nice. It really is something.

You’ve reminded me that it has been too long since I’ve held a paint brush in my hands. Thank you!
