It’s that time of year when flowers start to go to seed. These are from Papaver rheoas, the Flanders poppy, named when millions of bloomed in the summer following the end of WWI, covering the pulverized ground in France where huge battles were fought. To this day, in England and France, this red poppy is for Remembrance. It’s an annual that self-seeds in my beds. I also save the heads, shake out the seeds and sow them around for next year. ⁣ ⁣Kakuno fountain pen and white Prismacolor pencil in a Global Arts Kona Classic sketchbook, the paper of which is toned with real coffee grounds.⁣ ⁣#penandink #sketching #flowersketch #blackandwhite #drawing #tonedpaper #kakuno #prismacolor #konaclassicpad #naturesketch

2 of 2- I did these sketches yesterday evening while we watched the San Francisco Giants play the Oakland Athletics on tv. It’s a good exercise in visual memory since the players move in and out of “poses” and the cameras switch around every few seconds. So it takes 3-5 cycles for me to get a sketch like these. I used my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil with Autodesk Sketchbook’s 4B pencil tool.

Inspirations

“Tell ’em not to throw in the sponge because they are disappointed with their first efforts….Honesty is everything. Don’t worry about how a professional artist would draw your subject. Let’s see how you see it. That is the real interest. Make sketching a habit.”
Percy Bradshaw
