Great comment Doug, thanks. This petal bothered me too. I think softening the edges has helped although it is still a bit odd.

Wonderful colors Faye! There are a couple of areas to revisit. You could add more shadow toning where leaves overlap. The berries also need highlights and a range of dark toning. I see that the berries that are behind are slightly more saturated, but it is subtle. Because there are no highlights or range of tones the berries are too similar and…[Read more]

Welcome to the ArtFeed Faye! Good job on these berries! The rendering is nice as are the colors! My one comment would be consistency. A couple of the red berries could use more tonal range to enhance their form and a number are missing a highlight. Same goes for the blue berries. Pay attention to the placement of the highlights as some are not…[Read more]

Wow Ishbel! Gorgeous! You really captured the folds and details! The colors are so soft, but the image has such impact. I could look at this for hours! Bravo!

You are mastering white flowers on Kraft paper Ishbel! The one spot I wonder about is the bottom right petal on the bottom flower. Unlike all the other petals it has a strong outline. That is causing a strong contrast which is demanding my attention and makes the petal look as if it is applied. Softening the two side edges of that petal will…[Read more]

Another white beauty Ishbel! The one area I would take another look at is the petal at the top that is seen between the two petals of the large flower in front of it. I think you need more dark in the “v” as you did in other spots. Visually, I wish the top edge of that petal in the back did not almost line up with the tip of the large petal to it’…[Read more]

Hi Sheila! I thought I had responded to this piece, but I guess only in my mind. I am struggling with the composition. The top section seems busy, while the bottom area is dominated by the two leaves creating a strong inequity. Personally, rather than covering the two leaves with something I would rather see more exposure of the leaves in the…[Read more]

Thank you Doug! I just purchased hot press watercolor paper and plan to do more work on that. I did use cold pressed and the texture is a little rough, for sure, to work with. Really appreciate the feedback on working in more of the dark and mid-range tones, now looking at it again I can see it is a bit ‘flat’. I will share more soon….Thank you! 🙂 - Load More
