science sketching

Starting to sketch our unique native plants, like the lovely Hackelia spp., to dip a toe into scientific illustration.  Plus these plants are so visually interesting, how can I not?  Those strigose leaves (aka- covered with short hairs) put them in the spot light.

 Hackelia venusta illustration, with details of their slightly longer hairs.

Sketch of a Sisyrinchium idahoense flower, with bracts and leaf below.  As I help wrap up a  morphology study, I can't help but draw these lovely "grass" flowers.
