Sometimes it is nice to have a small moment capturing the flowers of the season. Preparing a sketch and gathering information is essential before settling down to a final painting at your painting table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoticing those small details and changes in perspective so that you can add dimension to your studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIris reticulata is a beautiful, small Iris with simple yet captivating patterns. It’s a lovely blue violet colour and a great Iris to practice on before attempting a large, bearded Iris. \u003cbr\u003eUse this little study to practice analysing the shapes and foreshortening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA stem of Hellebore flowers at different angles is a great subject for looking at negative shapes. I use an apple to describe the changes that occur when looking at ellipsis, and how to imagine the centres of the plant or flower when you can't always see them. This helps me illustrate cup-shaped flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Billy Showell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56555900010882,"sku":"sketchbook_iris_reticulata_hellebore_preview","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4587\/4136\/files\/Iris_Hellebore_Sketchbook_Thumb_50826fe3-2a70-45d1-b098-c099463716f3.jpg?v=1776061790","url":"https:\/\/billyshowell.com\/en-eu\/products\/billys-sketchbook-iris-reticulata-hellebore-drawing","provider":"Billy Showell School of Botanical Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
