Still life

I bought flowers so I'd be inspired to paint tonight.

I drew them with a pen (without a pencil sketch underneath).  This can be intimidating, but not as much as drawing with a brush straight onto paper.  I drew a landscape with many buildings and complicated perspective with a brush in a workshop once.  I'm not sure what possessed me.  The perspective was off, but people like that painting.

Back to flowers, I learned a lot about painting flowers from Charles Reid.
