The fresh scent of lavender
Did you see my post this morning Lavender and coffee? I've spent today painting lavender, my drawing desk smells amazing! This painting is of fresh lavender, some dried lavender and dried poppy heads.
I started off the painting by applying a background colour of pale greens with acrylic paint. I then painted in the shapes of the dried poppy seed heads and the dried lavender.
I used a range of blue and purple hues and tints to build up the petals of the fresh lavender flowers.
'Lavenders'-2017
Have a great day!
This is a c-c-combo for me:) Love them both so much, thank you for inspiring me every day:) Even despite the fact we draw on different themes I feel so much creative force after visiting your blog:)
Beautiful! It's amazing to enjoy the wonderul senses the universe has provided us with :) Namaste
Yes it is!
very very pretty !!!i love the purple that you used. what brand of paints are these?
A mixture- mostly Daler Rowney
beautiful !
Ohhh beautifull Lavenders!! ♥_♥
:D thank you!
Cool & Decent painting.
My wife has hundreds of poppies in our front yard. I love when they bloom. No lavender though--I may have to plant some myself. It is very pretty. Your painting is amazing!
Thank you. They are quite easy to grow from seed or just buy one lavender and then taking cuttings from it. The cutting roots very easily in soil.
Oh, this is beautiful. It relaxes me just to look at it. Thank you for painting it and for sharing it here. <3
Its looks so cool.😍😍 really wonderful.
Check out my drawings too at my blog
Beautiful fluttery flowers. I love the smell of lavender!
Me too! I have it all over my house.
They are very beautiful, you have great talent
Great
I would add also some scarlet red touches somewhere... like just a suggestion for poppy petals.
Something like ladybug on lavender, or just dots
beautiful! :)
Woow nice pos @opheliafu
Beautiful!
Lavenders, so inspiring... :-)
Lovely! We love lavender-- have at least 100 plants in our garden, including some off-white varietals. When the height of flowering season is here, my wife bundles them up and we offer them to visitors to our gallery.
What a gorgeous idea!
So Beautiful!
