Peonies
Art by @Ilga
This started as a line drawing based on a photo of peonies in the garden. It’s drawn with three different pens: Micron 005, Micron 03 and Faber Castell Pitt superfine (0.3) on 11x14 Strathmore Bristol Vellum. The paper isn’t terribly tolerant of wet media, so I played around with tinting it in Photoshop because I wasn't sure how it would go. But I liked it in color enough to chance painting the drawing with the nice and bright Dr Ph Martin Hydrus watercolors. It's photographed it on my drafting table with my glasses for scale. The lamp has a daylight bulb, so I think the color (at least where the light is more prominent) is fairly true.

Very beautiful line work! I love both versions, digital and watercolor!

@Rayedrgn Thanks for your kind words. I haven't done any watercolor in a LONG time, so it was fun getting a toe back in. Definitely plan on doing more. Fun and liberating.

@Bampi Thank you. So glad you like them. I couldn't actually decide which I liked better, initially. Though the watercolor one is growing on me more.
