<p>Drawn from life (from one of my miniature orchids). The background gave me some trouble - first I used orange, which overpowered the yellow blossoms, then I added an ochre wash, which was better, but still too similar, so then I added a very light wash of umber.</p>Red MapleSat, 29 May 2010 13:39:02 +0200https://ankewehner.com/gallery/maple2A red-leafed Japanese maple in front of some kind of thuja.

I looked at my gallery, and decided what I really needed right now was more bright colours.Gathering Yellow SunlightFri, 03 Jul 2009 07:37:29 +0200https://ankewehner.com/gallery/evening_primroseWell, that's very very bright.Pinkness!Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:34:49 +0200https://ankewehner.com/gallery/flower2Unfortunately I have no idea what kind of flower this is, but I liked the 3D-shape of the blossom with the stamina.Gathering Red SunlightWed, 17 Jun 2009 10:26:36 +0200https://ankewehner.com/gallery/poppy2Another poppy.

It was just a pencil sketch in my cheap-ass sketchbook, but I found a filter that made the scan look somewhat more interesting, I hope.Bus ShelterMon, 05 Jan 2009 08:27:32 +0100https://ankewehner.com/gallery/tree1<p> I'm trying to get into a habit of taking more photos and improve.<br />

Ink (mostly brush pen, dip pen with a "super elastic" nib for the lines on the the stem and petals, marker for the background) and a bit of digital drawing to turn it from a trapeze into more of a rectangle/square.

No shrubbery was harmed in the making of this image.Not Dead YetMon, 23 Jun 2008 09:14:15 +0200https://ankewehner.com/gallery/cherry_logI went for a walk in the woods, and there was a piece of cherry trunk lying next to the patch, about a metre long, and, as you see, sprouted at least one fresh shoot.

By now it's gone. For once, I grabbed an opportunity to take a photo of something before it was over, rather than telling myself "I still can do that next week/month/year"... Need to do that more often.Blossom RainbowFri, 28 Mar 2008 23:00:00 +0100https://ankewehner.com/gallery/flowers1Blossoms are kinda fun to photograph. Mostly, they hold still. :D
