Halfway done with this colored pencil drawing means I also have half more still to go! Today's post will look at the step-by-step process of finishing up the next six flowers in this bouquet drawing.
For these yellow kingcup flowers, I used seven colored pencils: tan, yellow, three shades of green, white, and black.
Over on the right side of the bouquet, I used cream, purple, magenta, pink, red, dark red, and black colored pencils to finish up this tight cluster of peonies.
For the yellow carnations, I used black, orange, white, cream, yellow, and three green colored pencils.
This coronella dahlia has a signature orange color. I used yellow and orange for the petals, dark red and black to add some shadows and define edges, and two dark shades of green for the leaves.
These evergreen clematis flowers were drawn with three shades of green (for the leaves, stems, and stamens), and white, brown and pink (for the petals and shadows).
Finally, the branch of pink orchid flowers was finished up with pink, red, brown, yellow, and white colored pencils.
I have only six more flowers to finish up until this entire drawing is complete!
