Flower Wreath Illustrations #FebruaryinBloom Challenge

​(Updated 8/29/2017) Wow! Looking at these takes me back and this was only a few months ago. Since then one of my friends actually created a wreath from my drawing! It's so cool to take a challenge that inspired me and use that to inspire someone else.

​On with the blog!

This month I decided to take part in the Instagram challenge called February in Bloom created by Shannon Higginbotham. The challenge is simply to spend the month of February creating works of art inspired by flowers. Now, I’ve been wanting to step up my wreath design game and work on sketching some different types of flowers so I got out my marker and started to sketch. Below are some of the “in progress” shots.

​After working pretty much all Saturday on them I have successfully completed 3 wreaths in addition to one I drew last weekend. Each one represents a different season.

I’ve been enjoying this challenge immensely, partly because I’m missing my flip flops but also because it’s a great exercise in drawing plant life. I hope to continue this well after February.
