Pink Lily
Lilium
I currently have some wonderful lilies filling my house with their beautiful fragrance. While they are in full bloom I decided to make an ink and watercolour sketch of one of the flowers.
Lilium (members of which are true lilies) is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs, all with large prominent flowers. Lilies are a group of flowering plants which are important in culture and literature in much of the world. Most species are native to the temperate northern hemisphere, though their range extends into the northern subtropics.

I used a dip pen and black drawing ink to sketch out the lily flower on paper.
Once the ink was dry I added watercolour, building up layers of pinks and greens on the petals and adding yellow to the background.
Cheerful colours to brighten up the day!
