Botanical Bookmarks

 

Life takes you down many paths...I love that, for the most part.

My art is continually evolving, bringing me to new and wonderful discoveries.

My discovery of Botanical Art, Modern Botanical Art, to be more specific has been

developing for many years and I am only now beginning to follow that path.

I love light pen work especially on water-colour paper...there is something

so beautiful about the texture, the roughness of the paper.

Add a bit of watercolour and shading to bring out the depth and viola! unique

one of a kind bookmarks.

Materials:

140 lb. Canson Watercolour paper

Copic 0.1 Multiliner SP

SUNFLOWER IN PEN & INK

🖋 Next to my pencils, pen work is my favourite though ask me on any given day and that may flip. 🤔

I think it’s the crispness of the black line on the stark white paper...the possibility of ‘maybe I will add some colour...maybe not’.

Sunflowers represent adoration, loyalty and longevity, a symbol of true faith and loyalty to something that is much bigger and brighter than themselves.
