Yeah, some kind of puffballs. I kinda added those as an afterthought. I'm from a desert adjacent town and there is a type of puffy buds that grows besides streets. yellow flowers in the beginning and then it turns into those buds, which release a lot of feathery puffiness. I don't know the proper name of the flower even in my native language but they are close to Thistle, sure.

That could describe a pretty good number of species, but I'm going to take a whack at a couple hardy ones that get kinda tall. Could be Sow Thistle https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonchus or Cats Ears https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypochaeris

There's always Dandelions for yellow flowers that turn to puffballs, of course, but they generally have a low habit.

I think it's close to Sonchus, if not exactly that. I'll try to spot it in the community park, next time I go there, they probably don't weed it out and it's found near the boundary walls.

Sounds good! Sow thistle is cool. There's three main varieties. It's a really hardy plant, edible when boiled, and it has a really neat straw-like hollow stem. I know they're a weed, but I'm really rather fond of them.

yes, I find them pleasant on the eyes as well. Everything that isn't plastic, adds some aesthetic value to the environment.

Beautiful. Whenever I open painting software I'm overwhelmed by the number of options. What kind of brushes did you use?

rippermonty@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 1y

Dry bristles, it's one of the default Paint brushes in krita. I variated the opacity and flow while working on this.
