Flowers & Hatchings Part 2: Finished Work

December 19, 2024 by Rayna Diane Hennen

Back in September, I signed up for a floral ink drawing class. You can also read about the start of the flower drawing, if you’d like.

While I know my first attempt here will not be gracing the home of anyone else, what I’m glad about is that it’s done.

Here are some of my notes after this first attempt:

Overall good: I like the shading and contrast and there are some sections where my line work is pretty good. I also think the shape of the flower came out well and does feel soft and round.

Overall “needs improvement”: I would like to work on the organic feel of my lines. Mine have the very angular feel of my doodling I’ve done. My leaves have some curve feel to them but needs some work. The direction of my lines need to be thought out a little better and I used the wrong sized pen on the flower (.005 instead of .003).

I am really glad I stuck with it and once the holidays are over, I will move on to the next module and flower!

The transition to fall can be a bit of a let down The transition to fall can be a bit of a let down after a summer full of blooms but I truly love little bits of decay as things start to break down.

There is a beautiful campground in VT - Silverlake There is a beautiful campground in VT - Silverlake State Campground. The campsites are all tucked into the actual shape of the land instead of rows of campsites next to each other.

If you get up early-ish, the fog sits on the lake (second image) and creates some dreamy but sort of eerie images.

Welcome to September! Can you believe this: In t Welcome to September! 

Can you believe this: In the year 1752, the British Empire skipped 11 days of September, between the 2nd and 14th. 😄  It was due to changing the calendar to a new system but yeah, who needs those days!

Also, September 17th, 1787 was the day that the US Constitution was adopted. 📜 💜

A little surprise discovered while cleaning - apparently I didn't drink it the night I meant to aaaand it was a little early in the day while cleaning to celebrate! 

And the calm of a clean, sunlit studio waiting for the next creation. 😌
