#water lily

02-09-2018

Here’s my piece for Light Grey Art Lab’s Botanica exhibition. I really like water lilies - they are so mysterious! They are also thought to be some of the earliest plants to evolve flowers. 

You can see all the talented participating artists’ work either at the gallery in Minneapolis, or online here. They also sell prints here!

Nymphaea ‘Red Flare’.

Nymphaea ‘White Sultan’.

Nymphaea ‘Perry’s Baby Red’.

Today what stood out wasn’t the beauty of the water lily, but the contrast of its leaf patterns on the water, and reflections from the sky above.

Digital Mosaics by Artist Ed Kinnally

These unique artworks appear to be high quality reproductions of intricate and detailed mosaics, but are in fact simply two dimensional creations; they are digital mosaics where the ‘tiles’ or 'stones’ (tesseraeorabaculus) appear to have a 3D look.

2. “Water Lily”

I always loved drawing animals but I ended up drawing mostly people these days. Hoping to do more animal art in the future!

I’m loving new SAI 2 scatter brushes and excited to test them more :D I’ll be sharing the brushes as part of the March Patreon.com/Yuumei rewards :)
