Carnations

Each week I will be posting a sketch. It is my way of challenging myself. I love drawing but haven't done it for a long time. My goal is to improve my illustration skills. You have to start somewhere, right? Practice, practice, practice...
This is a detail of a carnation sketch I did last night. I was inspired by the lovely flowers my husband gave me for Valentines day. These purple carnations were mixed in with some greens and hot pink roses. I am always excited to see what color of flowers my husband picks. The roses died long ago but the carnations are still brightening the kitchen. I love fresh flowers!
