Day 34: Does Anyone Know What These Are Called, Please?

Must confess that I don't even know the correct name for the bush upon which this today's sketch is based.

The entire bush was about 4 feet high  and three feet wide in total, with every set of leaves looking something like this sketch (growing in a sheltered section of a park, near a lake, in mid October in London, UK, if that helps).

If you happen to know the name of this (very pretty, and probably very common...) bush, please do let me know, perhaps over on the Facebook Page. Many thanks!

(Sketch in Mozart Komorebi watercolours, and Faber Castell Ecco pen).

New Digital Painting: Tulip Fever

At last... a new digital painting. This image on the left is the low-resolution version of "Tulip Fever" but I hope you get the general idea.

This is another digital oil pastel painting from scratch with the marvellous Twisted Brush program.

And grateful thanks also go to phaewilk whose photo inspired this.

Happy weekend, everyone!


 Update 6/05/13: I've already had feedback from a couple of people that they love this item, so it's available on phone cases and similar gifts:

Fun with a New App

The MagicPrints Android App is a wonderful thing...and perfect for whiling away more waiting time than I'd have thought possible.

Currently I'm enjoying using it to make mandalas like this one.

But I'm wondering which apps would you use to do this?
