Medium
Drawing - Colored Pencil Drawing
Description
This colored pencil drawing was created from a photograph I took of an iris when visiting in Denver, Colorado. I work with prisma colored pencils to create the different values you see in the individual petals of this work. I love to create a high contrast of light against darks in my work. I choose this photograph to work from because I loved the intense black, whites and greys in the original photo, as well as the detail. I try to reproduce the different values and detail I wee in the photographs I work fromI hope you have enjoyed this drawing and will share it with others. You can see more of my work in the various galleries on my homepage. Thank you for visiting and please come back.
