Scilla

[eller]

I almost never use blue... Except today I did. This ATC shows a typical spring flower that's everywhere these days: Scilla, sometimes in German also called 'Blaustern' (blue star). It also happens to be one of my mother's favorite flowers. :) I had a lot of fun with the composition.



Materials I used:
Stillman&Birn Zeta Series sketchbook (270 g/m²)
Watercolors: Schmincke Horadam YInMn-Blau, LUKAS Türkis (PB16), White Nights Burnt Umber (PBr7), Phoenix Yellow Ochre (PY42), Turner Permanent Lemon (PY109), ROSA Gallery Magenta Rose (PR122)
White gel pen (Pentel)

I'm partial to a blue flower myself, don't think I've come across this particular variety before, so I'll have to look it up! what do you think of the YInMn-Blue? I wasn't all that impressed with the one I've got, it doesn't seem that much different from a nice Ultramarine.

Gorgeous :D I love your ability to do composition with flowers. (I learned the hard way that no, actually, you can't just randomly draw flower sand get a good composition if you do not know how to composition lol.) :D

Texas bluebonnet says hi?! XD

Wow!

That blue really pops. :D

Scilla also comes in lavender, pink, and white. I have some assorted ones in my yard.

I like that you include which paints or other media you use.
