I don't think I've ever gotten out walking early enough to get photos of magnolias in such pristine condition! 😍

🤪 I have been working on the second module of the floral ink drawing course I signed up for a few months ago. ha ha, oh my gosh a test of my rusty drawing skills and my patience!

The thing I have to keep reminding myself, especially when I'm watching her do the inking: she's been doing this for years. This is what she does for a living. I'm not supposed to get it right the first (or second... probably not third either...) time.

A close up of a reddish dogwood. I love close ups of flowers that make them seem abstract.

During a floral photography course, the instructor said that abstract photos do not really count as floral photos. While on the one hand I can see what she means, it is still a flower!

What do you think?

I feel like I just flipped the calendar to March but here we are - April! I use a calendar of my own photos but after checking them in Dec, when I get the prints, I never peak ahead or actually remember what pictures I chose.

Happy to see that April is one of my favorites from last year 😍

My row of tulips is in progress! Enjoying this photo from last year's batch, thinking about what I'd need to do to get a better version - this is the second attempt.

I actually did finish the flower right before the end of the year and then... travel. Lots of travel. 😴 I will be working through the next module soon but here is the finished flower and some the process before it.

There is definitely room for improvement (my background lines need to feel softer) but there are also things I really like about it (the flower actually seems round and soft to me).

Squeezed in some quick sketch lines on a flower I'm working on.

I signed up for the @ioanapioaru Drawing Flowers course and after being away for a few weeks, I am happy to get back to it! Once I started drawing again, I realized how much I missed it and loved it. 🌸
