Sketchbook - Hyacinth

Sketchbook - Hyacinth - student project

Since I had a potted hyacinth, I chose to sketch a hyacinth instead of tulips. I sketched lightly in pencil, then went over the pencil lines with ink.  I then added watercolor.  On the opposite page I attempted painting the negative shape, and then showed the entire potted plant. I should've planned the layout better on the pages, but experimenting is what a sketchbook is for. Thanks for the class, Anne!Sketchbook - Hyacinth - image 1 - student project
