Hey, flowers and chlorophyll fans!
This Inktober prompt is for MyNewPeanutGallery who is a big fan of lovely flowers and an awesome friend

So, well, yes, "sour" didn't inspire me that much, so I did what I do every time I have no idea, I google "the prompt + plant" or "the prompt + animal" and let myself be inspired by what I find This time, it is a lovely plant from South Africa called Sourgrass, Soursop, Soursob, Bermuda Buttercup, African Wood-Sorrel and many other names... Its binominal name is Oxalis Pes-Caprae, in case you're curious (and you can go there if you want to learn more about it: Oxalis pes-caprae - Wikipedia ) ... This plant makes bright, yellow flowers, is edible (but its taste is very strong) and is a source of Oxalic Acid (hence its Latin name)...

At first, I wanted to paint the background and the leaves with watered-down liquid ink, but then I liked the only-pens result a lot, so I've kept it that way I think keeping it simple shows better how delicate the flowers are... tell me what you think!

Made with:
- Faber Castell Pitt markers (Black: XS, S, F, M, 1.5 / White: 1.5)
- L. Cornelissen & Son Walnut and iron Oak Gall Inks
- on Papier & Kunst sketchbook, A5, 130mg paper
