Cartão Botanical wildflower watercolor, blank inside

Purple asters grow wild in the White Mountains of Arizona. This original design was sketched from nature and hand-painted in watercolor. When I first started getting to know the plants around me, I also decided to "draw to learn" rather than "learn to draw". My goal is to capture the color, beauty, and personality of the species that are native to the Mountain West. Artist: Karen Suedmeier
