Here is a little painting of Kalanchoe plant from our balcony garden. My husband has been working very hard on gardening. This has been one of the few plants that has been rewarding him with flowers so far. The tiny little flowers have numerous tiny petals and the leaves themselves are arranged like flower petals.
I did the painting in Gouache first, then felt I had to do another study of the leaves, so I did a sketch with Faber Castell pens.
I am not good at remembering names of plants. I was calling it Galanchoe, then my 7-year old corrected me and said it is Kalanchoe with a K, not G. As proud as I am of her, it is not fun being corrected by a 7 year old. Huh. I told her at least I am not calling it Garbanzo.
