Spring Is on Its Way ~ Daffodils

Paper Paint, Pencils, and Pens ~  Bi-Weekly Art Prompt ~ Flowers

My favorite little flowers in spring are my daffodils and because of the warm weather this week they are popping their greenery out of the soil. I have them in all shades of yellow and in all sizes. I’ll go out with my scissors to cut them to bring in the house, and then feel guilty for cutting them. This is my first attempt at trying to capture them on paper and to get the trumpet tops to look like they are above the petals. You can see where I did have some difficulty bleeding the colors, but I hope that will improve sooner than later.  The picture is done with watercolor pencils and light pencil sketching.

Daffodils Are Special Little Flowers

I used my new Kenco 2X TELEPLUS MC4 OGX Conversion Lens attached to my Canon 50mm lens. Sadly the Kenco will not work with my telephoto lens. It has to be used with a Canon - EOS EF. It is such fun to use.
