Welcome Back
Another quick sketch, this time of a poinsettia ‘flower’ ok they kinda don’t have flowers it’s the leaves (or maybe brackts) that go red in places but call it what you will.

Poinsettia sketch in Inktense Pencils
It’s really hard to photograph in the winter low light, these are as I see them on my drawing board. Can’t ‘improve’ them in Photoshop without upsetting the look of the blending. Check out the Art tab at the top of the blog and go to Art: Suppliers section to find a link to Derwent website. This will give you a full colour chart of the range. LOVE, LOVE those pencils.
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon

oh i would love to try derwent but it was really costly around here. Would love to use the soft pastel.
Check out the Art tab, there is a list of suppliers on there, see if you can find somewhere on there that will deliver to your location at a better price.
It is lovely Billie, love the blending work you have achieved. You are right the red part is not the flower but bracts or modified leaves, the flowers are in the centre – small white ones. They originally come from Mexico where they grow into small trees
Now you really wanted to know all that didn’t you?? LOL

Coo, who knew. I can’t imagine them as trees, do they still get red leaves if left out in the light all the time. I though they had to be kept in the dark to achieve the red coloring.
