I’d welcome any feedback or suggestions. Thanks!

I learned that if you paint more than one of something you improve along the way. I painted these flowers starting on the lower left and working up to the top one. I think that the top one is more delicate and softer; the brush strokes were more fluid. This is all watercolor.

I’ve been studying watercolor portraits and couldn’t resist this subject.

Hi Beatrice- The areas flanking the highlight should be lighter. The #4 on the left edge looks darker than the #5 and 6 to the right of the highlight. The left edge should be a 3 or 4 on the tone scale. There is also not much variation between that 4,5,6 to the right of the highlight. Be sure to have the bottom edge curve match the top edge curve.

Good range of tones Beatrice! Thus is a good tool to have out in view as a reference while you work on toning various shapes and objects.

Nice job Rachel! Good range of tones!

Hi Rachel! Welcome to the ArtFeed! Both spheres are looking pretty good especially with the materials you had to work with. The yellow tomato has nice form and the form on the red one would improve a lot with the addition of a highlight.

Great job Katie! How did you like working on the toned paper? What kind did you use?

First attempt at toned paper. Colored pencil only.
