For Sunday Sketches, I did a quick ATC sketch using watercolour pencils of a Rose of Sharon branch I had photographed. I was attracted to the three different colours of the flowers on the branch that I saw. Can you see the burgundy, purple and pink?
Here is the photo:
I know my sketch doesn't do it justice but this is what I have for today anyway!

A very difficult flower to draw. I like the approach you took, simplifying with a touch of abstraction which gives it its own graphic quality. Very nice.
Your sketch is beautiful! Valerie
It's not exactly like the photo, but your work looks like a lot of fun. And that's the main thing to remember when you are doing something artistic.
You were inspired by the photograph and your drawing is lovely - it would make a great card.
the joy you received in creating this is all that matters, I like the light simple version you captured, I agree, it would make a lovely card,
It's certainly a lot better than I'd ever do!
I do see the three colors. I think your sketch is lovely!
It's very pretty, delicate and sweet! <3
great sketch
Wow Christine you captured it quite beautifully. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday my friend.
I love your rose! The different reds come out beautiful on your picture and I very much like the style how you have sketched this dificult flower. Up to now I have never sketched a rose. I was always afraid to fail. You did a great job!
Love your painting...perfectly pink!
I love your sketch, and I see the three colors too!
That's lovely. I killed one last year. sigh.
