Wonderful leaf Ishbel! Congratulations to you on your pursuit of a diploma! Very exciting!

Playing with graphite as I get ready to start the SBA Distance Diploma

Thanks Doug. I was quite unhappy with that leaf and realized too late that it is the focal point!

Gorgeous colors! Probably could use more saturation. I see the sepal hanging down in the front has a cast shadow. Don’t forget that the stem and other sepals would also cast shadows. Great job!

Wonderful Colors! The reflected light on the vertical subject on the left should be toned down. The reflected light on the cut open version is great and what you are aiming for! Nice job!

Wonderful texture Karye! The reflected light should not be so white and I would add some color to tone it down some. As I see on some of the other posts, I think you could use more color saturation on the orange. You are almost there!

Wow Karye! This is so beautiful! The colors and textures are stunning! Love the cast shadow too!

Talk about a focal point! Amazing!

Great studies! I especially love the drawing on the left!

Wonderfully rendered!

What a beautiful page Dolores! The colors and the composition are so appealing!

A really nice autumn page Gale! It is harder to see on colored leaves, but there should still be highlights and shadow toning to give the leaves some dimension. Possibly Pam can do a visual suggestion at the next webinar.

Great apple Gale! Wonderful form and color saturation! I think the dark toning should have transitioned lighter so that there was a range of dark and mid-range tones. That would fix the crescent shaped band of dark toning. Fixing that would make a big difference.

The pulp looks so juicy! Great job! I think the juice emerging from the melon is too opaque. I would expect it to be more translucent. I don’t know what medium you used so it might not be able to be done.

Wow Rita! So striking! The colors and patterning are so well done! Love it!

A great collection of textures Rita! The subjects look wonderful on the Kraft paper!
