Today we are featuring Theresa's new set called Elegant Florals 2. There are so many lovely images in this set, I didn't know which one to pick up first!
To begin coloring with my Spectrum Noir Markers, I started with the stem using LG2, LG4 and LG5. I began with the LG5 and added it just along the left edge, then added LG4 and used LG2 to blend them together.
Next, I used a grouping of coral colors in the CR color family for the flowers. I started with the flower buds and used a CR4 marker along the base and outside edge.
Next I added CR3 marker and kept going over the bud until it blended as I liked it.
For a bit deeper color, I added just a touch of CR7 at the base and edge of each bud & then added more CR3 to soften and blend.
For the larger flowers, I selected more colors from the Coral (CR) color family.
I started with CR11 in the center of the flower.
Added CR8 working my way out from the center toward the edges of the petals.
Then I added CR7
And finally added CR7. To pick up some of the darker corals, I used a blender pen in the middle of each petal to lighten up the look. As you are coloring, don't be afraid to add more color and re-blend colors... sometimes it is trial and error until you get the look you like.
Here is the list of colors I used for my flowers.
I added some Stickles to the center of my flowers, but I like how the coral shades turned out.
