Oh I just loved painting the wild garlic. Its so pretty. I am drawing it from photos - sadly; as its out of season and I have a commission to complete. I'm playing with overlapping shapes, stylisation and simplifying it. Its drawn in pen and ink (Talenz Ecoline) then painted in watercolour so that the ink bleeds into the paint.
And here it is in situ in a detail of the design - with the sycamore and hazel. You may notice that I flipped it - so nice to have photoshop!
Now no more of the lovely time I'm having doing these until I get back from Singapore, although I'll be visiting the botanical gardens with my paintbox!
