Thanks, Pam. Unfortunately, those are the only morels we’ve found so far and then we ate them with a few wild oyster mushrooms. We’ll keep looking:) -

Those pits are great! I didn’t find any morels this year :(. I think the dying elm tree at my usual spot is fully dead now.

The colors are nice and bright Cynthia! The fruits could use more darker toning. The fruit on the right looks good, and has nice form to it, but I would expect to see a shadow on it cast from the fruit on the left rather than the large highlight I am seeing. I would also expect that pair of leaves to be casting a shadow on both fruits. The cast…[Read more]

Thanks, Pam. The plant is growing like crazy. I plan to keep drawing it. -

Thanks, Ethel. I admire the bumblebees, the way they zip around. Unfortunately, this one wasn’t moving. -

Hi Marina, Leaves and stems often don’t get the attention the showy flowers do. So it is great that you have decided to focus on the this aspect of the plant first. Nice controlled toning! Something about the left leaf bothers me. I think the curve of the back side of the leaf could be defined more. I’m not sure what is happening there.
-
Thank you, Katy. The back side is folded, I tried to show that with toning.

I agree! I keep collecting more to draw, even though they are “just branches.” Nicely done study.

Beautiful! How did paint the papery white/tan parts over the green of the stems? Did you paint the green of the stem first, but if so, how coukd you layer the lighter color over that? However you did it, it looks so real – the flowers are beautiful, too!

I’m looking at your portfolio here for the first time, Doug! What gorgeous weight and substance you created in the lower section near the roots, with the gentle leaves growing up at the top. Just beautiful.

I took this photo on the kitchen counter, not where I draw so the light is little funky. Wendy is right, drawing branches is addictive.

Hi Cynthia, Nice to see you move into more colors. As you do, try to keep that idea of the sphere. Where is the light source? Where would the highlight be? Think about the core shadow.
-
Ooh good one Cynthia! So much fun. Yes to what Katy said – where is the highlight on that sphere? You did consider the highlight on the cylinder/tail part of the root. I like this very much.

You have been busy Fanny! The cylinder on the right is the most successful. The highlight could shift to the right a little on all of the cylinders, but it looks good on the branches. On that cylinder on the right the toning to the right of the highlight gets dark pretty quick. I would lighten the area to the right of the highlight and work on…[Read more]
Thank you Doug for your kind comment! I could see some of the toning issues but didn’t realize those highlights were not in the right place. I really appreciate getting your experienced advice.
