Every walk in the parc area close to our home has new blossoms, leaves and other signs of spring and of course I make pictures of all that beauty as references for drawings and paintings.

This time a little white blossom, left alone on the branch after a strong wind and I really have no idea what tree or bush it grows on.

On a black paper I first made an initial drawing with my Watercolour pencils and after that I painted the flower with Metallic watercolour paint. That is a new material for me so this was an experiment. The paper I used is not fit for much water, so I was very careful with that.

After the paint had dried I used my pencils again for depth and the details of the little blossom.

For the leaves and the branch I only used pencils, no water, to show that the blossom is my subject but it does not exist alone.

The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this work and - if you are interested in my original artwork - my contact information can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
