Brunsvigia orientalis

What fun I’ve had in the last while, discovering where the Brunvigia are flowering locally!  It’s been a good year indeed, but in the end I opted to sit under a tree in a friend’s garden and draw and paint a paler specimen.  There are just so many colours and movement and the shade on a hot day was most welcome.  I used watercolours, water soluble wax crayons, coloured pencils in a Hahnemühle Carnet de Aquarelle Journal.  It’s a heavy weight 400gsm Cold Pressed Watercolour journal and perfect for outdoors as there’s no paper buckling and quite secure in our wind.

A walk near the lighthouse here, sent a friend and I on a voyage of discovery of paintbrush lilies too, so watch this space…
