Purple!

 I wanted to try a blue or purple flower for today, inspiration from Vireya again! Hope you don’t mind, but you have so many fantastic flower photos!

 I still need to do some more work on the flower centre, and add in some leaves for contrast & background. Need to let it all dry out really well before going back in now. But happy with the layered colours so far! Ordinary sketchbook paper today.I have ordered a couple more markers, and a pad of Kraft paper, will be interesting to see how the markers go on the different paper & with the non- white background.

 I found a great free app called “Marker Match” which makes it much more easy to keep a list of which colours I have, and compare the colours of other markers on sale. I have found the “Touch New” brand has the same numbers & names as my Graphic Pro Duo and Mont  Marte markers. The little colour square in the app is way more accurate than looking at the colour on the lid!

  1. Looks good! And reminds me that I haven't done my "what's flowering" post for October yet.

  2. You are having a blast! It is so fun to just colour and play. Hope you share when you add some leaves. A white gel pen is also handy to add details/highlights.

    I use that app to along with the copic one. I am at the stage of replacing my markers with copics as they dry up. Keep an eye out for when Aldi have them too I think their markers are comparable to the riot art ones.
