Seed head drawings

The task was to draw seed heads in different angles in mixed medias and describe them

On the A1 sheet of paper I drew different seed heads.


This seed head I was most interesting. Firstly it possessed interesting patters that reminded me of scales or petals. The seed head was dry and crunchy like a dead leaf so it was very fragile. On the top of the seed head the petals become softer and contains a shade of purple. I really liked drawing and colouring this seed head because I could really explore the different shades of brown. This was painted with acrylic paint but wth lots of water so that’s why it may look like it was coloured with water colours. I then outlined the painting with a felt-tip black pe. That was my favourite part because it what really made it come together and outlining can be so satisfying especially drawing the details.

This seed head was dry, crisp and hollow. With this seed head I drew it in pencil first and then painted it in acrylic.
