1404 Marsh Marigold finished at last

COMPLETED ‘MARSH MARIGOLD (Caltha palustris)’, but not without setbacks (see below). NOW BACK TO THE GRANDMAS’ PICNIC, UNLESS SOME OTHER WATER PLANTS COME OUT UNEXPECTEDLY!
Book picture: have started again. It took 3 hours to re-trace the drawing onto good paper! I am now ready to start painting again. I used a water colour pencil (different colours for different elements) on the back of the tracing so that the tracing would be very feint. However, upon pressing this onto the good paper I discovered the colour I had used for the stalks did not come out! So I have drawn these by hand with a paintbrush – my favourite way to draw. It looks a bit messy, but will easily be remedied during painting. I have now added a seed head as I am taking too long to paint the picture, I thought I would take advantage of an extra bit of information in the illustration.
