The Yellow Flowers of Ligularia, August’s Plant of the Month

Here are a few Waterlogue app versions of the same plant I was sketching, done while I was still pondering which colour to to use and how to mix it!Ligularia plant with large leaves and yellow daisy-like flowers in the photo app WaterlogueLigularia plant with large leaves and yellow daisy-like flowers in the photo app WaterlogueLigularia plant with large leaves and yellow daisy-like flowers in the photo app WaterlogueLigularia plant with large leaves and yellow daisy-like flowers in the photo app Waterlogue
