Paint Party Friday - Tulips and Forsythia


Welcome to Paint Party Friday! This piece, called 'Tulips and Forsythia' is done on cardstock with my permanent colouring markers (4 1/2" x 6 1/2"). It is inspired by a photo I took, although the tulips were more of a pale green at the time and I added the yellow forsythia bush for added colour contrast.

I've never tried to use the markers but you seem to have quite a talent for it. Very nice indeed.

nice art

Nice balance to your lovely painting of tulips and forsythia.I love both plants, but so do the deer around here. I hardly had any forsythia blossoms b/c they must be ice cream for deer.

Christine said...

I didn't know they love forsythia blossoms!

I think you made the right choice by switching the colours up a little. It looks great.
