Hi Ellery, Yes, a beauty. Lovely to look at! These color scales look so great on Kraft paper! And such a good resource for you as you do other drawings.

Beautiful drawing as it is, Sheila!
Maybe I would bring in more darks in the leaves. The flower, stem and leaves are of a piece with a limited value scale. However, the bulb having such rich darks and saturated color, it is stealing the show. -

I think my favorite thing about this is the wonky stem with leaves shooting out in all directions. Oh, and also the beautiful curling petal.

Hi Camille, You have such a way with flowers! Beautiful! I love the petals curling on themselves! The only thing that bothers me at all is the position of the smaller bud. I sort of wish it were positioned further away from the flower.

I love your vibrant saturation on the Kraft paper. It really vibrates and is so engaging. Such a great learning tool to copy. This page goes so well in companion to your colour theory study page.

Thanks Sam:)

Thanks Pam, I ruined quite a few oranges trying to decide how to make a composition.

Thank you Ellery. When my florist poppies finally died. I emailed my friend in Oakland to go out one Sunday and photograph Poppies in the field. She even dissected one and photographed that also. Her lighting was not from the right. However, her photographs were great. It gave me a sense of its wild beauty. I can understand what you are saying…
-
So stunning and delicate, Camille. You’ve captured the feel of those petals and the calyx and stem. Brava.
-
Being a Californian, this is so striking to me, Camille. I love the water drops. I love that you show the unfolding of the sepals (fused together to form a calyptra), and the beautiful magenta at the base. I love the delicateness and the soft receding green leafs behind. Just gorgeous. Oh California. 🙂
-
Love that, Camille!
-
Beautiful, Camille – it really captures an ethereal/fleeting quality.

Thanks, Ellery.

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!
-
GORGEOUS! And yes to watercolour 🙂
-
This is really beautiful, @sheilayoshpe!
-
Thanks, Renata! I’m going to work a little more on it.

This is so gorgeous – reminds me of colour studies from the women in the BauHaus Weaving community.

Thank you Katy and Sam. I enjoyed your color theory class. Thank you for your comment Sam, it inspired a deep dive into the colorful work of Gunta Stolzl and Paul Klee and others.

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