Snail ate my Irises

Posted by Jen Grove on

Went out this morning and these Iris flower heads were lying on the ground. Stems nibbled through by naughty snails (or slugs)! So put them in a glass of water hoping they’ll flower and took the opportunity to draw them. This time in pencil, watercolour, colour pencils and some ink at the end. Really like using colour pencils in this bold scribble way.

    I love the way you’ve done the background. I’ll give that a try.

    Great composition on the page and the loose pencil work is really effective. Karen
