Hi Cathie- leaves are such a challenge and they are different every time. I like that you used a variety of greens, but this reads very dark to me for a lilac leaf. The highlights read more as a different color in the leaf instead of highlights. I would keep practicing a variety of leaves. Really examine them to see the details and how the light…[Read more]

@doug-milne always good to hear from you, I’d still like to work on fine details with watercolor. What size brush do you use for tiny lines and edges?

Lovely Jill. With tiny strokes you are able to portray all those wonderful bumps and blemishes into a thing of beauty.

You have been busy Elizabeth! I would round off the edges more – especially the left side which is very straight. At first I was thinking it was an orange and the color was too muted and needed more saturation. If it is a grapefruit the color looks good, but in either case the color is muddied. When the subject is an orange, gold or yellow color…[Read more]

Hi Elizabeth- this really reads as a front and back view of leaf. On the front view I would add more dark toning along the left side of the main vein. Check the leaf again if you still have it. A lot of times the secondary leaves are not so straight, but have twists and turns to them. I think of magnolia leaves as being shiny. If that is the case…[Read more]

Hi Elizabeth- this is an interesting composition! I would suggest adding more range of tones to the branches. Right now I am seeing a lot of mid-range tone and it needs more range transitioning to the darker tones. This will really help convey the cylindrical form of the branches. Be aware that the cast shadow created when one branch crosses over…[Read more]

Doug, thanks for your feedback. I added more tones & erased some of the shadows but I’m not exactly clear on your directions for the cast shadows. I did up load the corrected sketch. Thanks, Liz Fagan.

Doug, Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it. Liz

Doug, thanks for the feedback. Yes, I thought it was muddy too but I just couldn’t get it dark enough with the earth green. No dark sepia on the next orange. Thanks again. Liz

Vern, thanks very much for the feedback. Liz

Parmelia sulcata! You do know your lichens! Try drawing them…so much fun!

Thank you Ishbel! I will ask about species with a lichen expert I know at the New York Botanical Garden!

Your drawing is so beautiful Leslie that Picture This recognises it and suggests it is Parmeliaceae. Now to identify which of the 2700 species it is! 😀

Pen and ink with a watercolor wash is a great technique for a sketchbook! Makes me think of the perpetual sketchbooks of Laura Call Gastinger. If you don’t know her already, you should check her out.

Great Wendy! I think you could add more toning to the lantern on the right. It does not have the same sense of form you achieved on the other two lanterns.
