Fresh flowers
I got a bunch of flowers from a very good friend this weekend. They have been standing in a vase on my kitchen table now for two days, mocking me with their impossible shapes. I couldn´t help giving them a try, even though I think flowers (and cars) are the most difficult subjects to draw.
New here? Don´t hesitate to sign up as a follower, or leave a comment, or check out the Pink sketchbook that I just added on the sketchbook page!
12,5 x 17 cm, Lamy Safaris with Noodler´s Lexington Gray and Fox Red ink, pencil and watercolours, on obscure brand of drawing paper in a sketchbook.
You did manage these “impossible shapes” quite well. Lovely flowers to keep bright colours at home!
I love all the variations going on here and the play of light !
Hehehe and he still is a very good friend?
I like them, very nice drawn.
btw.

Is almost poetry!
@René: SHE still is a very good friend, yes, and has been since I was nine.
And, I never thought of it as poetry, but now that you mention it – with all the pens, inks and colours… Yeah. Poetry.
Magnificent! Along with capturing the “impossible” shapes you made exquisite color choices — I love this!
Love the negatives and positives! Great job! I agree with you about drawing cars but I don’t feel that way about flowers!
I totally agree with you on flowers and cars being hardest things to put on paper and still look good.
But you’ve done a magnificent job with this one, and I really love the different outlines with different colors!
I love the variety of ink against the monotone background. Great flowers, of course. The images on your new site really sparkle on my screen, Nina.
This is wonderful, Nina, but I have to say that what bowled me over was flipping through your pink sketchbook! WOW! Remarkable. Reminds me that I need to go practice!!
Loose and lovely and fresh! They look so free and fresh. And I love the shadows.
I really like the way you handled this subject. It’s so creative and very different. It’s just lovely! nancy
Men wow va snygg den blev nya bloggen Nina!! Textade dig i morse – vågade inte trycka import utan att kolla med dig om den gamla bloggen ligger kvar!
Portfolion med NextGallery var jättesnygg. Konstigt att de inte programmerat in en exitKnapp bara… det tog en stund att fatta att man skulle klicka på själva bilden för att komma tillbaka. Det blir så jäkla snyggt när bilderna öppnar sig mot den där skuggade bakgrunden!!
Vilka superfina miljöbilder från landet! vi måste dra ut och måla lite tillsammans innan det blir för kallt. Hejhej /Carre
Så fint, emigrerat och klart! Grattis!
Blommor är inte SÅ svårt tycker jag, men komplexiteten i buketter är det.
Tittade genom rosa skissboken – så mycket fint du fångat! Tittade även i mönstrade boken, uppslaget med kyrkan visas två gånger. Det är sjukt fint, både funktionen, bloggen och skissböckerna. man vill liksom krypa in i dem, och bo där ett tag. Speciellt himlarna tycker jag är imponerande, fattar inte hur man kan måla moln så att de ser verkligt ut. Du är galet imponerande duktig!
Älskade den rosa skissboken, Wordpress verkar bra mycket bättre än blogger
These flowers are gorgeous. You have painted them so beautifully. I love the colors and the filling of the space and arrangement of them. Very nicely done.
Tried to become a follower and for some reason, it seems, the feed or whatever it does is not working. Had you in my google reader and trying not to “loose” you! I remember “meeting” you in an Illustrator forum a long time ago and was really happy when I happened across your own artwork!
Lovely, just lovely. I really like how you used more than one color of ink. And now these flowers will live on forever in your journal.
Nina, hi there again. I´ve had a look over your site, and got completely fascinated with your talent. Loved the sketchbooks. Please upload some more soon. They are amazing! Wish some day I could have the oportunity to be your student! You´ve got a fan, my dear! Your paintings made my today a better day! Thanks for sharing!
LOVE your flowers and the interpretation, mix of media and looseness!!
