Slow-Opening Irises

I recently found a gift of wonderful bouquet of irises waiting for me on the table. They sat closed for the first couple of days and then opened one by one as I was sitting at the table, finishing some sketchbook catching up and having tea - they managed to change completely between two cups and that was the very first page of my sketchbook 166 :) (Usually I draw my current tools but I think this was very appropriate thing to catch in my daily drawn documentary :)

A Beautiful Bouquet - a series of experiments.

I recently got a beautiful bouquet to enjoy and sketch - looking at the same subject many times, in the course of several days is something I highly recommend to anyone - especially to someone who sketches. It was glorious when permeated by the morning sun and illuminated in the evening rays. And it inspired some experiments!

Sketchbook #115: Bouquet

This was an unusual bouquet as this was the first time my kid picked flowers for me all by himself - and he made some great choices :)
