ellerSoooo, today we had a bit of a Friday afternoon group trip... We went to the Rhododendronpark (in Bremen) and took our art supplies. Ironically, today, I was the only one of the group not working in color: I had brought my watercolors but a) was feeling lazy, and b) would have had to share the watercolor box, since some group members don't have their own paints.
Isn't this magnolia pretty? XD Funnily enough, there are enough magnolia trees in the park, and they're all blossoming, and yet, my friend I., independently of me, chose the exact same bloom to draw. (She did that after I had already finished my drawing and moved on - she had no way of knowing...) Great minds think alike?!?
This tulip was just starting to wither a bit... But I found the shapes very interesting! (Also, in this picture, you can see the material I used: two thin acrylic pens by Flysea and a broader white pen by Uni Posca. The paper is the Hahnemühle Cappuccino Book, A5 size.)
Oh, and this flower, the Americans among you probably already know - I didn't. This one was completely new to me! It's not native to Europe, so... Yeah, you probably wouldn't see it in the wild in these parts. It's good to have a park with a very enthusiastically maintained botanical collection, you learn new things every year! Anyway, I was super happy to learn a new plant, and immediately had to draw it from different perspectives! :) I was the only one to choose this flower, though: IT STINKS. Wow, it stinks.
