One thing that I love about summer is all the flowers that are blooming! This year, I planted some pansies from seeds this year in a container. I placed the container outside in my backyard, so every time I look out the flowers are inviting me to come to hang out with them.
The other day I took them up on this invitation and sat down with them to paint them in my sketchbook. My first attempt was not the best, but combining the colors and attempting to paint them was fun!
I decided to see what videos were on YouTube that could provide me with more insights on how to draw pansies. I found one video by Ellen Crimi-Trent that demonstrates how to paint pansies. After I watch the video, I tried painting some pansies using pinks and purples.
I cannot wait to try painting some more pansies.
What are your favorite flowers for summertime? Feel free to leave a comment below.

I guess it would be wild flowers or these white roses that I see on my walks.
