got me some cold pressed 105 x 150mm sized postcards and did two spring themed test images.

the acrylic markers (base) + colored pencils (shading, accents) as in the snowdrop one works best so i'm pretty much going with those forward.
the magnolia one was at first watercolor + colored pencils but i changed my mind and redid the background with acrylic markers.

traditional drawing of a bunch of snowdrops. there's also some ivy leaves in a darker green and some reddish brown ivy vines as a contrast. the background is a mix of different muted colored circles. a reddish muted brown as a base, the circles are in a cold muted blue, different greens, some nude colors and some few muted pinks. also some white blobs.
drawing of a twig with budding leaves and three not fully opened magnolia flowers. there's also one still in it's bud form. the background is in a simple light blue color with white full colored and some pink border shaped rectangles. there's also some white circles, i guess i got bored of rectangles at that moment.

And more pictures from last Friday's 7.5km forest hike 👆🏽.

BTW, I wonder if had a small breakthrough in picture taking, especially when it comes to focus. I think those are results of my conscious choice (and not some accident), but I'll believe it if I can consistently repeat it over time. 🤞🏽

Picture 4 OTOH. I need to figure out how to get the red not to flood.

Closeup of a flower with a large brown center, but relatively few petals. The petals are pink, narrow, and are spread out with a lot of space between them.
Closeup of a yellow flower with five petals that look almost like a propeller. A green bud of the flower and green leaves of the plant in the background.
Closeup of a green bud of a flower with green leaves surrounding. Two yellow flowers of that kind (already bloomed) on either side of the bud but the flowers are fuzzy. Green leaves of the plant in the background.
Closeup of small red flowers with white filaments and lots of red buds on the stem.

7.5km forest hike last Friday was shorter than I like, but it offered plenty by way of nature: a large armadillo, a beautiful inchworm, colorful caterpillars, butterflies and birds, a coral snake, and of course brilliant wildflowers.

Naturally, the hike was slow but made me ask myself how I got this lucky. 😊

PS: Two pictures of some things because they're just so beautiful. More pictures and videos. 👇🏽

Closeup of two yellow flowers with black filaments.
A flower that looks like a ball of just pink filaments each with bright yellow anther (tips). A smaller flower bud in the background on the right. Green leaves in the background.

After Tuesday's near miss 👆🏽, happy that yesterday's fasting river walk was exactly 11.11kms. 🤓

Don't know if 4 ones has any significance (like 3 sevens lucky, 3 ones "Nelson" unlucky in English Cricket,…). I don't really care, but still find it cool.

Saw a nice wildflower (don't know name). Lucky to get a picture on the way out because the flower was gone later, mowed by trail maintenance. 😢

+ a flycatcher (?) gave us audience.
