Although most everything in my garden is finished by now, the black-eyed Susans near my front door cling to summer. I pass them on my way in and out, and today I took a few minutes to capture their fading beauty.

I'm excited that my watercolour "Poppies Today" is featured on merchandise in the Studio 56 Boutique!
A selection of my favourite watercolours, mostly painted in and around Montreal.
Sad looking flowers but beautifully captured. I love the ink drawing, particularly those leaves in the foreground… and also the way you haven’t painted “between the lines”… it adds a freshness and energy to the subject. Was that intentional, or are you just having trouble staying between the lines in the limited time you allow for sketching? : )
Thanks Ross. It’s true that I don’t have as much time to sketch as I do in the summer but that was intentional.
Excellent!
Thanks!
Excellent !
Thanks!
How did you do the magic you did every time with the greens??I am blown away with your sketches. ..
Thanks. The greens are just different layers of the same green in increasingly dark intensities.
This is lovely. I tried to do some observational drawing this weekend many times and every time it went wronggg! Please tell me I’m not the only one with these weeksxx
Of course you are not the only one. I mess up plenty of sketches, but I just don’t post them.
What you explained about the green to rooi – I am heading out right now to try it! Thanks so much.
Love this, I am looking out my window at the very same sight, have to give it a try now, always great Shari, thanks always for posting so faithfully.
