Flower Jar - Mo Manning

on

Good Morning y'all!  Today's inspiration is for Mo's Digital Pencil.  It's full of color and blooms and it is called Flower Jar.  I believe this is Mo's first floral she's drawn.  I sure hope there are more!  You know me and flowers.

 In this design I wanted the background to look like a painting.  Before coloring I used several colors (listed in the color palette) and randomly smushed them here and there around the flowers.  I blended them with Bg 10.  Finally I took a piece of cloth and 99% Alcohol to add the texture you see.  Then bravely I free handed with my air brushing with a few of the colors.  I took my wide marker colorless blender and went over the entire background to blend all the colors.  Let it dry for a while and proceeded to color the image.  I was very pleased in how it turned out.

When I colored the flowers I used a smushing approach vs basic blending.  I wanted them to not be so perfect to fall into the background.
