Capsella bursa-pastoris (shepherd's purse) is used both for human consumption and medicinal purposes, amongst other things.
I love this plant, it looks very funny, as its many crops will turn away from it in all directions. In my childhood they told us that he could play with him to twist between our palms and give a little rattle.
Sketch on paper with pencil. The sketch size is A / 4. That's why I wanted to draw this plant as if the wind was blowing a little over it. I sketched the drawing so that the plants would not hanging out the edge of the image, just in the middle, as if they had grown from the same root and how the girl embraced them, as if it were a small fairy of plants.
So I had to plank the board so that the wood grain would also show it. I always make a sketch drawing and copy the contours on the board. From the outline, I applied the contours carefully to the board with copying paper, and I did not draw it there to keep the board as clear. I did not paint the plank on this picture, only I left the color of the tree.
When I was outlining the plant and the girl, I thought that the color of her hair should be harmonized with the color of the plant.
I'm drawing this picture on wooden plank with aquarell pencils. I use Terre d'Ombre, Ombre naturelle, Brun rouge, pink and white to draw skin color. I use paintbrush only on larger surfaces, but not for coloring the dress, because the pencil prints on the tree like a rustic surface, as if it were a linen cloth. The color of the dress is made in the end because I choose the shade that matches the plant and her hair color. In this picture, the color of the dress became darker in color, in contrast to the light of the hair and thus the clearer stems of the plant were better placed. Plank size: 8x8 inch.
What I also like is that if we look more closely at the crops they have a heart shape. :)
