Flowers are hard to make

Well, the last few days have been a blur of Tulips and Roses. They make making Fuchsia's seem like a piece of cake!
What do you think?

All sorts of excitement...

Been doing some more drawing of leaves and fun things. It was actually quite exciting, I turned some leaves into a butterfly!
And I thought I'd make a Fuchsia flower cos I didn't know how hard it'd be (it was very)

Back to the drawing board...

Well, it's been a while. Sadly I've not been off gallivanting somewhere nice and sunny on holiday, I've not even been sat out in my nice and sunny garden. I've been stuck in drawing and dissertation, fun times. To be honest, I could go do it outside but I'd start sunbathing and get nothing done so I'll show you some bits I have got done...

My Minor Project is gonna be about colour - how it changes and how different people see it - so I decided to do the Pinterest classic and dye some flowers interesting colours. The first pic is when I've just put the flowers in the food dye and the second is when they've been in 3 days...
There was absolutely no change. After 3 days this was all that happened...
I'm not even counting this as a victory cos the one in green dye got pink veins too.

So, I decided to give up on that and draw some proper things - flowers/butterflies/feathers. Here are my faves:
 
 They're done with a load of different stuff, e.g. watercolours, pen, crayon, ink etc. The last butterfly was on tissue paper and looks ace, I need to do some more of those.
