Milkweed again!

I love the shape and texture and the subtle colors of the dried seed pods found along the roadsides and on forest floors. They carry just as much interest for me as when they are alive again in their spring or summer splendor.
I've drawn milkweed before, but this time added the touch of watercolor, as that is what I'm trying to get better acquainted with. The fine white filaments of the seeds are always the challenge. This time I dry brushed china white over the whole thing, but next time I might try masking. Posted by Picasa
