Garden Photos, Pencil and Marker


  Rather than relying on paints and colored pencil I thought I'd see what I could accomplish with just one pencil. I chose an H to avoid smudging.


The garden photo I'm using was of some petunias I had in the container garden last year.



The first results were nice but I decided to go over it again to darken the background and improve the contrast.



I found that I liked it a lot more after that.



Here are a few envelopes decorated with markers and a fountain pen. The tulips were based on another of my garden photos. 


These cards include photos of flowers cut from my garden placed next to the watercolors that I did from them.
