Finished page...


nature journal grand-darling, originally uploaded by Az~Kate.
I spent some more time to finish up the shading and detail on this little nature journal page. I think it's finished. :) I am not at ALL happy with the plants, I get frustrated trying to figure out what detail to leave in and what to leave out. Also, I was working from a black and white copy of the photo, which didn't help. I would go and pull the color photo up occasionally on the computer for reference, but that isn't the best way to proceed. : / Anyway, some of you asked to see it when finished, so... ta da.  Also a note to my fellow artists and other visitors, if you have an art website or blog or flickr page, please include the address in you comment, I'd enjoy visiting your pages.  Thanks so much.

  2. You have captured a precious moment in this child's life. I love every aspect of this drawing/painting. A true treasure. I wouldn't fret about the flower details, it's the child who is the star...the expression on her face gives off the message...lovely.
