Geranium
Today I've been drawing cranesbills, or hardy geraniums. I have a variety of these perennial plants in shades of blue, pink and purple, the purple ones are a favourite of mine. The delicate flowers have tiny veins of colour running through them, these sit beautifully above the large green leaves.
Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. They are found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. The long, palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. The flowers have five petals and are coloured white, pink, purple or blue, often with distinctive veining.

For this drawing I am using black drawing ink and applying it with a dip pen.
