Study of Wilted Tulips


11x14 graphite and acrylic sketch on toned paper

From what I understand, my love of wilted flowers is odd.... like bordering on morbidly emo peculiar. But they make such pretty shapes, and theyre so wonderfully, translucently delicate, so Im sticking with my belief that they are beautiful and perfectly paintable.

  1. Wow, this is so beautiful. With your use of color, they pop from the paper.
    Withered flowers are a great subject.
