Here is a sketch of three anthurium flowers. There's something very compelling to me about anthuriums, I've painted a couple of large paintings of them. I also have a little anthurium in my room; although I don't think it will ever bloom, I love the leaves... I'm unsure if I'll paint these or not, but I did enjoy sketching them.
I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in October. This is day 23.
This is a rough sketch. You may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like. I did take some pictures at the show, I'll post them when I get a chance, it was a very nice opening.
I am also participating in Sunday Sketches. To view more Sunday Sketches, please visit:

Your sketch is beautiful. They are really lovely flowers, I have one in a pot here. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful anthuriums!
ReplyDeleteNice beginning. Can't wait to see how this develops
ReplyDeleteAre these the red ones? Hope you go on to paint them.
ReplyDeleteLovely sketch of the flowers ~ you do great illustrations ~ thanks.
ReplyDeleteHappy Week to you ~ ^_^
It is a lovely sketch. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Valerie-Jael, Christine, Martin, Paula, carol, and Linda. Yes, these are based on some of the red ones, but I'm not sure if I have room on my plate for these ones right now. I do love anthuriums though and I've done a couple of other paintings featuring them...
ReplyDeleteOOOHHH this is going to be gorgeous when finished.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like them, I don't think I will be doing these at this point, but maybe sometime in the future...
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely anthurium flowers. They remind me a little of calla lilies. Are they in the same area of flowers? Either or, very pretty. I would love to see these painted. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Alexandra, I've done a couple of anthurium flower paintings, they are lovely flowers. I'm not sure if they're related, but they seem like they would be...
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!!!
