Snapdragons Sketch (Flower Wagon Challenge)

***Challenge spoiler***  If you’re participating in the flower wagon challenge, you may not want to see my progress.

After examining the flower wagon photos, I decided to use just three flowers in my collage.  I sketched my idea, below.

I noted some elements of the sketch that might need changing and then got started creating the background.

I was careful to use dark and dull fabrics for the background, knowing that these would be best for setting off the bright flowers.

Maybe you’d like to participate in the flower wagon challenge also.  You can see all the flower wagon photos and challenge details here.  All you have to do is create artwork inspired by these photos and I’ll publish your results on my blog!  I hope you’ll join us!
