Kew Garden Again!

I went to Kew Garden from 1-5.30pm again.

This time I explored the north of the park which we didn't really manage to discover yesterday.

Somewhere near the river bank I decided to draw and colour a plant. I was inspired by the botanist illustrators in the Marianne North Gallery and the Sherleywood Gallery Exhibition to use the colour pencil medium. I took about one hour to finish just a 6x6cm picture of that plant. It was nostalgia of me going for art class in my high school, back from My Favorite Art House times.

I initially wanted to use water colour, but I left it at home so I had a good start using colour pencil to practice my precision.
