Paying Attention To What Nature Has To Offer To Artists

I've said this before and am repeating it because it's true.

Since I've started drawing I'm paying more and more attention to details, am observing lines, shadows, everything. This helps a lot.

This is the petal of an iris I got
last weekend. Look at the colors of the petal and the texture.

Another shot of the back side of the petal. There is no yellow on this side of the petal but it's still lovely.

How can you not love this flower? It's so amazingly beautiful! Unfortunately irises have a short life, mine has resisted 3 days or so, which is a shame, I'd have loved to see this beauty for a week or even more if possible.

My next project is photographing tulips.

I hope I'm going to have more time to draw so I can start drawing petals and leaves, finally using colors instead of graphite.
