Lovely warm days coming in our area and small little flowers are growing beside the road. This flower is called Freesia. As far as I understand, it is a native to South Africa but appeared in Australia sometime ago. It was named after Friedrich Freese, German botanist and doctor. Light bell shaped flowers ranging from yellow to light violet/purple.The fragrance is very delicate and the flowers have long thin leaves. They grow in gardens and beside the road quite profusely so I was able to get a few for a study. Study with pencil.
Lovely tonal study, Katerina! I am glad you are enjoying the weather and able to do more drawing and painting.

DeleteYes it is getting warmer and I can see a few flowers coming out.
Thinking of doing a colour sketch of freesia.
Thank you for posting your beautiful study of a freesia, now you're a Blogger and a botanical artist Katerina :) ... isn't it so nice when the weather starts to improve! Here we have the fruits on the trees, my favourite time
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dianne!
DeleteGetting more confidence and one step at a time. Thinking of doing a watercolour sketch of the flower.
