Bravo Denise! This drawing has so much going for it! The composition and view, the colors and details to name a few. So many hellebores like to hang their heads and this is a great view showing off the intricacy of the center details! Love the mix of purples you achieved! The stem and leaves are equally as good! Gorgeous!

Wonderful Karye! The colors and delicacy are fantastic! It looks like you clipped the flower and laid it on the page! I look forward to seeing it as you progress!

What is intriguing about this Hawaii plant is the look of the fruit when it touches the ground (lower left). I did not see it when it dropped but I suspect that the fruit opens as it touches the ground. Later, it closes as
it dries (lower right). -

Hi Helene- that view of the open pod is just amazing! Consider adding a shadow cast from the center seed pod. Because of the strong contrast of the view of the open pod it really holds my eye and the other views suffer accordingly. The closed view of the pod is almost there. I think it needs a little more dark toning added in the shadowed areas…[Read more]

Hi Denise- the flower colors are wonderful! Doing full face views of flowers can be tricky not to mention the white aspect. The flower is missing some form and definition because it needs some shadows, etc. This view does not allow you to capture all those amazing details you illustrated in the purple hellebore. I think of hellebore petals as…[Read more]

Great Rita! You achieve such wonderful deep, rich colors on so many of your drawings and it is nice to also see how well you have handled these softer colors. Love the movement of the bottom view!

Wow Helene! Absolutely gorgeous! It has so much going for it – the colors, the highlights, the delicacy, the toning! Everything is working! Even the stem and leaves are beautifully done and visually support the flower and let it be the star.

Doug Milne commented on Maureen Griffin's Photo 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Nice study page Maureen! Your color selection and saturation is really good! I would revisit the interior areas of the caps. The dark top ring on the side view should not be dark all the way around. Where the light hits it it should be light and be darker furthest from the light source. The left side of the interior of the cup, where it is…[Read more]

Wow Rita! The exterior view of this eggplant is gorgeous! You have captured the colors and skin texture beautifully! I am thrown by the cut view. Personally I don’t think there is enough going on visually to include it. I would matte it to not include the cut view. The exterior view is definitely frame worthy!!!

You are off to a good start Faye. Some areas need a revisit. With the tone blocks the mid-range blocks are too similar. Some of the blocks that should be light are darker than the darker blocks. You should be able to see that each block is different as they progress from light to dark (or dark to light). Using a B pencil which allows you to get…[Read more]
