Studio Practice (dig oleander)

These are my digital compositions for the paintings of the Oleander flower. For this I used some photos i found online and traced them, I chose to trace over the photo due to the amount of time left to complete this project, so that I can spend more time on the painting it self, the text and how it will be display instead for spending more the time doing studies of the flowers, in the future i would like to allocate more time into drawing them myself, or using my own photos if possible (what was not for this project for the same reasons as well as blooming times)

There are two photos two photos are just the line art, one being the original one and the other being the larger version. I chose to do the larger version from some advise Denis had given me, as well as for the chance I didn't end up adding text. The lager versions work well with and without text what is a better option for this project, as i am unsure if i will have enough time to complete everything i wish too. Along side this, there is a photo with the background, text boxes as well as some basic colour. This was to help me better visualize what i would be creating as it is not that clear with the photos due to the extra parts of the image, and it is hard to see with just an outline.
The rest of the photos are some of the different compositions i created. I did not document all of them, spending mutiple hours moving things around, coming back to them and changing around again. 

This painting went though a lot of different versions, non of them quite look right. However i ended up removing one flower form a photo, making the longer shape and added a flower to another section to fill up the space more. I wanted to make one of them more long, as it would create a frame around the middle painting (Jimsonweed) as the painting on the other side (foxglove) has a long shape on the left side, adding a long shape on this one, on the opposite side, would create a nice frame one it is all together.
