Oranges

This was not a project in the Intro to Gouache Botanicals class. (Try Skillshare Premium free for 14 days! Disclosure: I get one month premium if you sign up with this link.) However, I’ve really fallen in love with this style over the past week and wanted to do another from the provided reference materials. I see opportunities to expand on this, especially given how many plants I’ve got around the house. There’s potential everywhere! Can’t wait to see what else pops up.

Lemons

This was the last project from the class. I enjoyed the little segments of the branch and how they can be different colors. Also appreciate it as an opportunity to pick up the pencil and make a different mark. I found I like the aesthetic of a very low contrast for the highlights and shading on the lemons themselves.

Blueberries

Perhaps I change my mind now and these blueberries are actually my favorite. I love the color of the bodies and then the contrast with the dark blue bits. Also, blueberries are delicious, so why not?

Purple Aster

The purple aster follow a similar technique to the primroses where the petals are all on the same layer. Takes a bit of thinking about which petal is under which other petal. I do love the purple color of the petals.

Primroses

The primroses used a bit of a different technique. Instead of making each petal on a different layer and stacking them, all the petals per color are on the same layer. There’s a bit of a border around each petal where it overlaps with another that is a pretty neat aspect of the brush.
