Hedera helix part 2
My drawing exploration of the invasive ivy began in my post Getting in a twist with Hedera helix! I now continue with the 2nd drawing of this 3 part series.
A bit more ivy trivia!
Ivy and alcohol:
The Roman god of wine, Bacchus was often shown wearing a wreath on his head made from ivy and grapevines. Well wearing ivy on your head is meant to stop you getting drunk!
The berries were once thought to treat the negative effects of alcohol, don't try it though as the berries are poisonous!
During the medieval period a branch wrapped in ivy would be placed outside a building to advertise that it was a place selling alcohol.

Awesome art @opheliafu and I love the reference to Bacchus too in my country we still refer a lot of miths to him from his normal look... till his night time look when he has horns...
Hopefully I got it right! I've been researching from lots of different sources to check for accuracy. I know there is a cross over between Bacchus and the Greek God Dionysus.
Beautiful work @opheliafu lady, excellent video of step by step, very good congratulations
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
great work
