Top Ten - Floral #5

Botanical Name - Ranunculus
Common Name - Turban Buttercup


I love in early spring when I place Ranunculus in a pot.
Simply...beautiful color!


Ranunculus are such happy flowers I felt this
 would be a perfect Birthday card.


One of the lessons in the On - Line Card Class for 
Copic Markers was adding Gray Shading to deepen and enrich the colors.
Which is something I had been taught before.

It takes time to master this technique and I will have to
Practice, Practice, Practice!



The petals on Ranunculus are tightly woven they remind me of braids.
Perfect for the ribbon embellishment!

Five more favorite floral choices coming!

Be Spontaneous!

  1. Hi Elaine, I don't know if you remember me but I met you at the copic coloring class 3 years ago. I was going through my bookmarks and you came up so I thought I would say hello and see how you were doing. Also just wanted to let you know that there is a huge FB group and coloring group called Kit and Clowder. It's headed up by Alyce Keegan-she's an awesome artist and she has all her classes online. I have improved so much through her :) There is so much going on there all the time and lots of great artists. Hope you will check it out. Take care

    1. Hi Holly, Of course I remember you! The Copic Class we took was filled with wonderful women and we learned so much about Copic coloring.

      Thank you for the link to Kit and Clowder, I am now a member.

      It would be fun to meet and color together. Perhaps we can start a coloring group!
