Capturing mainly white flowers is something I find challenging. I loved this luminous rose that I found in the old Courthouse Square in Toronto in July, 2025.
This single peony was sketched in St. James Park in June 2025. 6 X 4 inch sketchbook with coldpressed all cotton 300 gsm and DeSerres watercolour set with waterbrush. Microliner.
I did this drawing as a part of a Domestika course led by Lapin in Barcelona. He had turned his usual interest in urban sketching to botanicals during the pandemic lockdown.
I really enjoyed taking the Domestika course Botanical Sketchbooking: A Meditative Approach with Lapin. Drawing with a microliner with no preliminary pencil sketch was a bit scarey and frustrating at first.
