Bloom Wildly | Illustration


It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather.


So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front!



This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade.




This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate!

Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this.


Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll take ages, probably an hour, takes away your times. So the faster the process to watch, the better.

I collected some photos I took from my garden, that I use for drawing reference:




And a photography collection of my dog rose gouache paint illustration:








I'm actually quite proud of my gouache painting skill, I thought it would be good as I rarely paint with gouache, even I regularly use acrylic and watercolour. Turn out its looks incredible!

Thanks for reading and have a nice rest of the day!

In episode 2 "The North", in this scene located the mountain in West Mexico, with the Spy Hummingbird capturing the place that's considered the world's most beautiful natural gathering, where the Monarch butterflies hibernated during the winter. It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on
