Studies of Flowers and Plants, 1876-1898 is a 11 by Edward John, Sir Poynter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows delicate pink flowers and thin green leaves scattered lightly across a blank page. The lines are faint, almost ghostly, as if sketched quickly. Some branches curve upward while others sprawl sideways, filling the space loosely. The artist used a simple pencil or charcoal to suggest movement in the plants. The flowers aren’t perfectly detailed—they’re more like quick notes than a finished picture. If you like this sketchy style, check out stippling next.
Sir Edward John Poynter, 1st Baronet (20 March 1836 – 26 July 1919) was an English painter, designer, and draughtsman, who served as President of the Royal Academy.
