Anthurium 'Hot Lips' in Coloured Pencil - Part 1

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

Our botanical coloured pencil study this month is an Anthurium, a lovely plant with more structured petals. This one is a great introduction to white flowers with coloured pencil.

In part one we will make a start on the green flower at the top.

In the video I do call this a Peace Lily, as that is what the plant was marked up as when I bought it however, I soon discovered it is in face Anthurium 'Hot Lips' so do be careful when buying plants to make sure the retailer has them labelled properly.

I hope you enjoy this one.
