An original drawing of peonies. I’ve read that flowers cause positive feelings & a higher sense of enjoyment in life. Perhaps that’s why I love drawing peonies so much! I do love the pretty, pink colours in the petals, which is contrasted nicely by the waxy, green leaves. This drawing was done with Caran d’Ache coloured pencils, on Clairefontaine paper. I love using coloured pencils, as they can be sharpened to a sharp point, which is great when it comes to doing detailed drawings. I used the following colours to create the pink petals in this drawing; Rose Anthraquinone, Manganese Violet, Ocre Brûlée, Sienne Brûlée, Carmine, Violet Purple & Rose. Please note that all drawings are separately. This drawing requires a frame. It’s sold unframed. It has a landscape orientation.

Many a time, the little corner where I paint has been like a citadel, a place where I can escape & get lost in painting. There’s something about the painting process, something to do with the intense concentration & the quiet creativity involved, that gives an artist a sense of inner peace, for the most part anyway! I started painting in High school, mostly portraits and always with acrylics. Much later in life, I thought I’d try my hand at oils. Painting in oils can be tricky, & at times extremely frustrating, but despite that - or maybe because of it - it can be incredibly rewarding too. Having grown up on the North coast of South Africa (at that time, a wild, untamed coast line), & as part of a family who enjoyed safaris at every opportunity, it seemed only natural to change subject matter, from portraits to wildlife. However, more & more, I’m finding fresh inspiration from all around. Here in England, the first signs of spring can be seen with the appearance of cherry blossoms above, and yellow daffodils below.. all of which inspire me to paint flowers, for the moment. Life as an artist is wonderful. It’s a never-ending process of discovery. There is something new to be learned with every artwork, & I look forward to exploring it all.
