    Les fleurs du jardin

    Les fleurs du jardin

    Voici quelques photos montrant les fleurs (et arbres) du jardin, que j’ai prises pour montrer à ma mère :
    Le jardin vu du portail de côté: plate-bandes avec hortensia et rosiers, grand troène, îlot en centre du gravier avec un gros pot et un arbuste rond.
    Jardin vu du côté de la cuisine: plate-bande de rosier et menthe, cage en métal décorative suspendue.
    Le long du muret, un pied de chèvre-feuille vient d'être repiqué d'une forêt voisine et s'acclimate.
    Vue depuis la terrasse: plate-bande avec rosiers, citronnier duquel est suspendu un carillon en métal.
    Vue de l'extérieur sur le muret à côté duquel j'ai planté des lauriers orange.
    Détail du rosier grimpant de ma voisine aux petites roses orange. L'une d'elle prend le soleil.

    Reproduction from the ‘Daytripper’ graphic novel

    Here are a few pictures I took while making a 30×18 cm watercolor after one image from the graphic novel “Daytripper” by Fábio Moon & Gabriel Bá:
    Pencil sketch: three hulls and moorings seen from below, rough silhouettes of two people in one of the boats and the placeholder for a speech bubble underneath, a few fish of various sizes on the side
    Wet blue wash all over the paper and blue droplets formed over the masking fluid which I applied over the speech bubble, the fish, the moorings and one of the hulls.
    Several layers of blue wash to render the light underwater
    Peeling off the masking gum. Unfortunately paper was peeled off as well.
    Brown hulls of rowing boats still wet, fish coloured in shades of yellow, mooring ropes painted yellow and brown. The smaller of the boats and its mooring is painted dark blue.
    Details in the foreground rope done in black ink as well as details on the hulls and silhouettes of the people painted black. Speech bubble outlined in black.
    Detailing the fish using a Pentel black ink brushpen which is visible next to the sheet.
    Final result with text in speech bubble: 'if you travel too fast, all you're gonna see is a blur and you'll never really meet anyone interesting.'
    The watercolour is now cut and framed
