It is a brighter image Kanye. Beautiful!

Not an easy color to capture and you have done a wonderful job! The texture looks a little grainy rather than a smooth texture. Less lines and more overall saturation would achieve the smooth finish. There is a whitish line between the cast shadows and the eggplant which should not be there. If that is meant to be a reflected light it should be on…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing these wonderful drawings and their habitat information! Fascinating!

Love seeing the structure of these plants!

Beautiful study page Machi! Great attention to the details!

Wonderful Katie! I think each individual tuber have nice form, but I would add more overall darker toning to the areas that would be in shadow like the bottom which would emphasize the form more. Great job! Wonderful rendering and attention to the details!

The problem I have is with the green onion. The base is missing toning so it is reading flat. Also, the red onion would be casting a shadow on the green onion. I would work on that first and then decide if you want to add cast shadows to ground the onions to the page.

Superb job Margaret! The uniquely shaped subjects, the colors and textures! Everything works!

Zinnias are a complicated flower to draw and you have done a wonderful job here! Beautifully rendered and the color selection and saturation are fantastic!

I like the addition to this drawing Helene. Such an unusual and interesting subject!

You are ready for a return trip to the Garden of Lemons!

Wonderful Margaret! You really captured the textures of the shallots and their stems! Great composition too!

Just gorgeous Helene! You really captured the papery texture and they look very realistic! Rather than adding the leaves I would have suggested more saturation of color to approximate the brilliance.

My bougainvillea produced dozen of vibrant flowers this winter (under lights). I tried to capture the brilliance but my resident critic (husband) said that it was too monotone so I added leaves as you will see in the next entry. I did not want a totally exact reproduction of the subject but to give a light, airy look , i.e. to evoke the light…[Read more]

I sketched these three branches of Dune Conebush back in September when I was on the ASBA’s Botanical Safari tour of South Africa. it took me almost 6 months to “finish” the page. I had no idea that Protea came in so many shapes and colors. I did see some gorgeous ones as well at botanical gardens, but many just grow on the side of the road.…[Read more]
