Amaryllis Bulb
Amaryllis Bulb, pen and ink, 8×8″, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger

I’ll document its emerging leaves and multiple blossoms over the next six weeks. I’m going to use different media and chose pen and ink for this first image in order to portray detail I often miss with other media.

Amaryllis bulbs show up in markets during December in the United States and every year I buy one. I used to buy them for all my relatives until I realized they don’t share my enthusiasm for this wonderful piece of botanica.

Thistles
Thistle, 2018, professional watercolors on 184# wet media recycled, acid free paper, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger

This studies a small thistle I found while on a walk. The paper it’s painted on is a Strathmore product, that has a tan-ish cast and contains 30% recycled material. It’s the first time I’ve painted on it…it’s okay. I prefer white papers but it’s nice for experimenting with color and imagery.

Thistle, 2018, Permanent black pens on Japanese notebook paper, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger

This studies a dried Canada Thistle I found while taking a walk. It’s drawn with ink…I think this is the first drawing I’ve posted in that media.
A few weeks back while teaching beginners watercolor and pastel classes I became aware how REALLY important drawing skills are to any person learning to paint.
I now want to learn to draw better.
