A symbolism of the Blue daisy ( Felicia amelloides) is happiness! One of the things I hope for next year, is the ability to smile and stay optimistic in any situation. Believe it or not, I’ve had experiences where I’d been super down but then a funny memory or someone makes me laugh or smile, and it that moment it feels like everything I’d been worried and sad about didn’t matter. It’s not easy to smile when you’re down. Finding your happiness within or without is something that’s amazing to have around.
I hope for a joyful (happy) year 2022 for you and for me!
Process!
I made use of a Staedtler pencils/ cretacolor pencils, Winsor & Newton/ Van Gogh watercolors and my Sinoart sketchbook
I sketched out the flower and drew the character. I applied the first layer of wash and waited for it to dry a bit before adding the next few layers of blue. At the last minute, I added a neon yellow wash to the chin and eye lids of the character, it was pretty fun, I’m hoping to try painting this way for subsequent works. I really love how this turned out : )
Thank You For Viewing and I Wish You A Happy New Year In Advance !
