When drawing this patch of flowers, I concentrated on a few distinctive shapes, then used the rest of the space to construct foreground and background within the patch, using the group of flowers as reference for basic shapes. I like the combination of sunflowers, black-eyed susans, and another type of smaller daisy-like flowers within the one patch, all yellow. I could spend more time adding more and more detail and depth. The drawing becomes a sort of doodle, where the lines and shapes I add are in keeping with the feeling of the flower patch, but I add them where they work best. This is the same idea I use when drawing the brownstones on Newbury Street in Boston. The buildings are initially drawn from life, then I add the architectural detail around windows and doorway referring to here at this link.
This is my hundred eleventh daily drawing. Thank you for your continued interest.
