Lisianthus, a darling of the wedding flower industry! This is an unusual coral coloured, double, fringe petaled variety that caught my eye this snowy February.You gotta love these ‘ bit over-the-top’ varieties, don’t you!!? I I was caught by it’s coral colour. ( We used lisianthus in my daughter-in-laws wedding bouquets and I loved its lyrical swooping stems.) PS Grows wild in Texas and south and is part of the gentian family. On a more practical level. Do you think my pencil drawing of the bud and leaves on the left side is okay? The bud pointed slightly downward is intentional since I didn’t want everything pointing to the empty left corner. Also, the iPad camera is slightly grainy,- am wondering if anyone else notices this.
Hi Carol- Lisianthus is a great flower to draw and you have done a wonderful job! I love how you captured the swirl on the front facing bloom. I am not familiar with this double variety, which is amazing! The colors are soft, but I don’t think the image is grainy. I would proceed with the leaves on the right and then see if you could or should add something to the left for balance. I am anxious to see how this progresses! I all ready love it!
