Lilacs

I’m seeing the blue skies
I’ll fly, I’ll fly away”

Amberian Dawn – Wings Are My Eyes

Time for another flowery piece of art – a bunch of lilacs. The painting was supposed to be a birthday present for my grandma who loves these flowers. So I got out a canvas and acrylic paint and started doing a base layer of colour for the background. I put a pencil sketch on top of that and then started painting the actual flowers. To get details into the blossoms I used my purple artist pens. When I was finally satisfied with the picture itself I started arranging little decorative butterflies that I had lying around and glued them to the painting. They give a nice little three-dimensional touch to the artwork that you can’t really see on this photo. My grandma was very happy about the painting and she’s still got it hanging on her wall.

Paper size: 30 x 30 canvas

Tulips – Sketch

Nightwish – She’s My Sin

This sketch came to life shortly after my grandma had given me a box of wax crayons as a present. The last time I had worked with wax crayons had been ages ago when I still went to school and I didn’t really enjoy working with them at that time. But as they were a gift I decided to give them a second chance. As I had absolutely no idea what to draw I ended up with the thing that I had right in front of my nose: a bunch of tulips. It’s a rather sketchy and messy drawing and to be honest it didn’t make me want to use that medium more often.

Paper size: A4

Materials: wax crayons
