Very very nice...love seeing the WIP pic. Dahlia's are wonderful. Unfortunately here it is too cold to leave them in the ground so the tubers have to come inside for the winter. I always put off digging them up to the point that I am trying to beat the severe frost. Looking forward to seeing the big finish! :-)
Love how you always show the befores and afters. The after is gorgeous, of course. And I know how much nicer the black is in person compared to a scan, so I can imagine.
This weeks colours for The Summer of Color are 2 purples and a yellow and this is what I did with them. Not my favorite colours so really racked my brain trying to think how I could use them and which bird to use. Decided to go with a juvenile Golden Eagle since I don't have any photos of a purple bird :p I think I prefer the black background, the yellow seems to stand out more against it. Which do you prefer?
Looks quite stunning on the black background. Which black paper are you using?

ReplyDeleteThis is looking wonderful already! Nice colours!
ReplyDeleteI love pieces on black and this is no exception. Beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This looks very challenging to draw and is already stunning, especially on the black paper.
ReplyDeletethanks sue :) its murano paper, really like the paper but doesn't take many layers
ReplyDeleteteresa, thanks :) its hit or miss if the tubers survive in the ground here, so we just leave them. if they die, the die :p
thanks serena :D
jeanette, thanks :) working on black paper can be really effective, and easier lol

I can tell this is going to be gorgeous! Can't wait to see it finished.
