Painting Flowers

I love that Higgins India Ink marker. Added color with watercolor to my drawing. Here is my finished painting with a small friend.

Drawing with Higgins Black Magic

I used my new Higgins Black Magic Marker to draw lines and shapes. 

I added lines onto a painting.

I drew layered flowers

 and filled some in with paint.

The ink is dark and black and flows smoothly from the brush on the tip of the marker. 

Really fun to use. 

Higgins Black Magic

Thank you to my brother Phil for this wonderful pen he gave me for Christmas. It’s a brush pen filled with India ink and makes the most beautiful black marks. I can’t wait to experiment with it.

Circular Flowers

I like to paint lots of different ways. Sometimes I paint loose with flowing water and see where it takes me and sometimes I paint very tight and controlled. 

Here's how I worked on a very controlled painting of circular flowers. First I drew overlapping circles in pencil using a circle template then I drew various flower shapes with a micron pen.

I painted the flowers first and then the background.

Finished!
