Montbretia in Coloured Pencil

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

We have a lovely little addition to our Build As You Go this month - a fiery stem of Montbretia.

Its small flowers bring a lovely vibrancy to any composition or garden.

Don't forget you can draw these as stand alone pieces, you don't have to do the whole composition.
