“Single White Bloom” is for the Flower a Day Project.
The flower was painted in oils in my 4 x 4 sketchbook. There’s something personal and maybe even romantic about a single stem. I think I like them better than a bouquet not just for a painting but on my kitchen table as well.

The original sketch was done in watercolor but this painting done on 9 x 12 acid free paper is mixed media. In addition to heavily pigmented oil paints I used ink, silk flowers and white lace giving the painting a real life touch. Each silk flower is dotted with metallic gold paint, each white bubble is circled with blue metallic paint.
You’ll see the stems glow in three layers of green on top of a swirling blue background. The tea pot itself is gold, brown and copper tones with a large pink and white flower. A closer look at the lace reveals bits of purple, pink and different shades of blue. This is a homey painting that would fit nicely in your kitchen or dining area.

More details: Tea at My House is sealed to help preserve the vibrancy of the paint. It is signed and dated on the front. There’s a white boarder which allows for framing making the image size a full 8 x 10 inches.

A mix of Prussian blue, titanium white, sap green and yellow ochre meet peacefully to create an abstract ocean view.
Ocean Four is the last of it’s series and is painted on an unused fabric softener sheet to create an original pattern which compliments the earth tones.

I’m enjoying my flower sketches before dinner. I’ll absolutely continue them.
This sketch shows a house with a purple petal fence and a huge sunflower as a setting sun over a bronze colored house. The original sketch shows much more detail such as small gold flowers on the house and small blue flowers in the sky and even on the purple fence. To finish off the sketch I added a light filter from photoshop.
Medium: Crayola markers w/ water over crayola crayons and metallic gel pens in a 4×4 sketch book. Full image size, 8 inches.
Thanks for visiting,

This is a mixed media painting I did before eating dinner. I started out drawing in crayola crayon then I used crayola markers with water over the crayon. I smoothed here and there then added extra layers of crayon under marker until I was satisfied.
The smooth crayon under layer makes working with markers very easy. Shading is easier as is covering up mistakes. I also like the texture it makes where marker stains the paper but not the crayon. I discovered it’s best to use yellow with green marker or blue marker with yellow in order to get the desired result of green. It’s been fun experimenting with the two mediums.
Flowers Before Dinner is the start of my second sketch diary which has been dedicated to flowers of all kinds.
