The Star Magnolias

The magnolia flowers went into full bloom this week among the ones I see everyday along Park Avenue and East 37th Street.  I noticed it earlier this week and I thought I should do a sketch before the flowers are all gone.  Yesterday, I got out early from work so I took some time and made a sketch of it.  I'm pleased with how this came out against the kraft brown paper.

    Did you use a gel pen for the white blossoms? Very effective.

      Yes, I did for highlights but mostly white acrylic paint. Thanks Joan.
