Title
Black and Bumblebee Iris
Artist
Laurel Adams
Medium
Drawing - Colour Pencil
Description
As this original colour pencil REAL TIME rendering continues, my Black iris joined Mary’s bumblebee iris to continue the garden bouquet...what will the final iris selection be in the trio? The choices are: a golden standard-copper purple fall beauty, a mauve standard, reddish purple fall stunner, or a peachy standard, periwinkled fall coquette named “ can-can”. Feel free to cast your comment...I probably won’t begin work on this until tomorrow evening. Enjoy!
NOTE: Within the controversial distinction of CP “drawing” or “painting” lies artist definition. My definition: when the surface is ENTIRELY burnished, I classify as a Painting; when any exposed Paper Is part of the composition or background, I classify as a drawing. I render both.
