Pam commented on Pam's Photo 4 years, 3 months ago
Did a color study on a scrap piece of watercolor paper for practice before starting my larger pitcher plant composition. Used watercolor followed by colored pencil. I lost the highlight when doing the watercolor, and I couldn’t lift it back out, so I’ll try to be more careful when I do the larger piece.

So stunning, Pam. You’ve articulated the details so well, while communicating the air-filled volume of the form. Your colour work is exceptional. They are such miraculous aliens! What a blessing to be near a bog. 🙂

Thanks Sam!

Beautiful, Jane! It is coming along so very well. Look at all that fine detail! A beautiful portrait. I’ve really taken a lichen to it. (haha – couldn’t help myself)

Wow, Jane! This is looking so great! It’s like a whole forest in there! Beautiful attention to detail–those folding ruffles, the teeny tiny branching–just, wow. It’s very beautiful.

I definately am working on toning, my number one priority. And excellent point about the shape of the pear.

Hi Katherine. I am such a fan of these branch and twig portraits. Keep up the good studying. Look to render the highlights, midtones and shaded/grisaille sides with your toning and colour. Remember to think of your cylinder forms and what the light does.

Yes i want to purchase the set of wooden shapes when you have them available. I have my little box set up with shadow lighting now and plan to tackle more this week. Thank you again for your points and input.

Good work, Bonnie. Excellent studying. Good colour work. Keep working to get those range of tones – highlights, midtones, shaded/grisaille tones.

Love this one, Bonnie. Great colour mixing with your watercolour. I think you can still go darker on your shaded side. Bring in some brown – and looks like you can pump up the saturation of the colour at base of the skin – the part where it reads brighter like a red in the photograph? Also, think about that paper like quality of the skin while you…[Read more]

Yes, I agree with you about the values. Yellows are so tricky for me. I try for the translucent quality, but then it’s pale. I’ll work on your suggestions. Maybe some watercolor. Thanks for the feedback! -

Now that is a handsome twig! It feels so solid. I like the differing textures on the inner and outer bark.

This is really looking spherical! but I’m getting an outline. Observe and think about the shadow directly under the tomato. I call it the “sit down shadow” It shouldn’t come up the side so far and should sort of “puddle” slightly under the tomato.

Hi Katherine, such a cheery drawing! I want to see some more darks. A cast shadow on the apple under those right hand leaves would make a nice separation. Be careful not to have a white line between the apples and the leaves.

The sliced pear is really beautiful! It has that style you have that I love. However somehow you seem to have lost the shape and coloration of the pear on the left. It is mostly working until you get to what I think is the cast shadow of the other pear. You still need to indicate the shapes in the shadow. And the color suggests the pear is maybe a…[Read more]

Hi Katherine, You have a very interesting style. I find your drawings very pleasing. Especially this one. Rather restful. I like the simple bold shapes. And gentle colors. Also beautiful line work on the fringing under the cap and at the bottom of the stem. Very nice.
