Media: Pen and Ink Ink on watercolor paper.
Size: 5x7 in
Make sure you watch the time lapse video of me working on this drawing!
The paper measures 5.5" x 8.5" so there's a small white border around the image. I found these Tiger Orchids at the Erie County Botanical Gardens. They call them Tiger Orchids because, from certain angles, the center of the flowers look like a tigers head (and they're orange like a tiger). A few weeks ago I cleaned out my studio and found some ink and a watercolor pad. Cleaning is sometimes like going shopping because I find supplies that I forgot that I had. So I've been making ink drawings on the watercolor paper for the fun of it. I like how the ink looks on this paper, it dries to a matte finish and the black areas a nice and dark, and the paper has a nice texture.
