Georgia O’Keeffe is the first artist I knew in Year ten when I was doing GCSE Art. My GCSE ART teacher let us to drew her work. I remember I drew the following pictures of her work.

I chose the pictures with flowers because I very like. The picture with bright color is very pretty that would really attract me.

This is my Drawing in the sketchbook. I used the watercolor pencil.
