Since it’s the 25th of the month, that means that Power Poppy is adding another beautiful digital image to its Instant Garden Collection. And this one is truly like a breath of fresh spring air! Introducing Tulips in Hobnail Pitcher.

Isn’t this a beauty? Marcy (Marcella Hawley) says:
“We have three images in this set. The image is a bouquet of freshly gathered tulips that captures laid-back country living, complete with a hobnail-trimmed milk pitcher. Two birthday sentiments round out this set that is just begging to be colored up this spring.”
And this is how I colored up my image:

I simply adore coloring Marcy’s images and this one is really fabulous!
For this one I used my Kuretake Zig Clean Color pens on watercolor paper. If you look closely you can see that I let my colors bleed out of the lines for a little more ethereal look.
For the layout I used this week's retrosketches #207:

This is so very pretty, Broni! Your watercoloring is perfect and the tulips look so real. I love the bright blue of the pitcher, too, it really makes the other colors POP!
