bouquet too many uninteresting leaves and too few flowers then it flopped and shrivelled and i trimmed it down to a sad little bouquet but sometimes these arrangements are more fun to sketch for example the drooping flowers provide movement the single red zinnia gives it a focus and the preponderance of leaves gives it a unity of colour all importance design elements in a sketch despite the sad character of this grouping i will miss the wildness of summer flowers when autumn rolls around and i have to resort to grocery store bouquets again share this share on x opens in new window x
