I skipped day nine,  but I’m back on with Day 10.  I went to my first orchid show on Sunday.  I had never been to a flower show and I wanted some new things to draw so I went.

EDIM - 10a

I took a few pictures to use for drawing and made these drawings in my moleskine when I got home.   I found them awfully intimidating.  I stuck with it though.

    Lovely orchid art Mellanie. The pug is just toooo cute. Lovely expression on his face and the watercolour of the man below reminds me a bit of Prince William – perhaps in 20 years time.

    Really lovely flowers. Watercolor pencils are NOT easy, though i think they should be somehow. You’ve got a very nice touch, and the color is perfect. Well done.

    I keep coming back to look at these – I can’t believe you did these flowers with watercolor pencils! They are gorgeous!
