Oh how I wish! But this May is impossible for me. Hoping there is a 2028!

Thanks – I struggled with how to do that – have the paper be the darker tone? Use greys? Any recommendations?

I agree! I have toned the base of the green onion since this photo was taken but the cast shadow is a helpful reminder – thanks! I’ll work on the drawing and repost.

Love the composition Karye! Everything works! Fantastic! You nailed all the textures and colors! I think I will make some guacamole for lunch!

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.
