This is the philadelphus or mock orange in our garden. You can see the conifer behind and the workshop door top right. On the right hand side are the long leaves of an iris. I sat and sketched for a couple of hours after my daily walk and talk. I started with pencil, then light green paint to map out the philadelphus bush. Then I used darker green to add definition, but I think I should have made the light green leaves even brighter. Finally, I added the door, wall and fence and the yellow tips to the iris leaves and the conifer fronds. |
