Tulip on Stonehenge

As promised I now post my tulip that I've done yesterday with Prismas on my new Stonehenge paper. I must confess that I am not good at flowers but wanted to make a tulip for a long time (I love tulips, they are my second fave flower).
Mostly flowers turn out kind of childish when I draw or paint them but this time I'm pretty satisfied.
It must be the Stonehenge - it's a dream. Adding layers after layers is so easy I never thought that it could be such easy - and fun!

Okay, have a look:

This morning I added some more darks and now I call it finished and an ATC because the size is about 6x9 cm/2,5' x 3,5'-

Another word on the new 2006 Prismas. Thanks Katherine Tyrell for telling me about the lightfastness. As she mentions on her blog and especially on squidoo - "Colored pencils - resources for artists" page the lightfastness of these new pencils is not very good. Have a look at that site (and her blog) - it is well worth.

This is beautiful! Love the way the petal on the outside looks like it is opening up a little more.
