Thank you!

Again, solid and calming. Beautiful toning. Beautiful drawing. I might suggest a more careful shadow behind the flower on the leaves. Just so it separates and pops up into the foreground a bit more.

It’s a rhododendron bud

I see what you mean. At least I could have faded them out a bit towards the leaf edge. Next time because this piece has been sold! Thanks for your feedback

Pat, there is a solidness to your work that is very satisfying. Calming even. You are able to take this complicated subject and bring it to a place I can sit back and enjoy it. Thank you for that.

I toned the cone. It looks perfect. A little goes a long way👍 Thanks for your suggestion

This says autumn to me! Very lovely. I love the textures you have on the seed pods. And the way one feels the brittleness of the twigs. I’m still trying to decide if the composition works for me. With the focal points on either side of the frame. My eye isn’t sure where to go. Which may not be a bad thing. Keeps me moving around so I don’t miss…[Read more]

Hi Pat, This is such a solitary beauty! A lone flower seemingly gone to seed. Muted colors…but such energy. Simple and complex at the same time. Lovely!

This is so lovely and delicate!

Hi Sheila- the leaves are looking better since you added more toning. They have more weight to them now and your radishes are still the star of the show. Beautiful!

The bottom of each side of the leaf curves down to meet the stem. Good suggestion thanks

@doug-milne Thanks, Doug. Any other suggestions? I still have some leaves hanging in there. Hoping to get a flower and seeds next season.

Hi Sheila- a flower and seeds next season would look good. If you don’t get to it I think the drawing is dynamic as it is. I love how you did the trio of cut pieces. Great job!
-
Thanks Doug! So glad you’re back in the feedback team!

You’ve created so much movement and drama on the page. 🙂

Lovely and elegant. You could work some more darks into your overlaps. Have those stems go a bit darker when behind leaves. Have your leaves achieve some more darks in certain areas, and always observe carefully how the stems connect. This is very pleasing to look at, this drawing. Watch out for stems starting at the same line like int he bottom…[Read more]

What great drawing/painting. If you like, you can still tone the overall forms – ie give the cylinder/stem a shadow side so that a highlight emerges, and tone the overall sphere of the pumpkin. I love the curly-cues and the stem patterning, and the varieties of oranges. You could observe/work a bit more on the area where the stem meets the squash.…[Read more]

@katylyness It took me awhile to really plunge into the centre of the paper, I would often avoid it but it happens a little more often now! Thanks for your comments!

@vern I am really liking the Kraft paper, especially how the midtones can happen so effortlessly. It’s a little more forgiving with erasure too. Had to pick all our cosmos last night as snow has arrived today!

@wendy Wendy, thanks for the feedback. I’m going back in for more varied greens, as you suggested- looking at what I’ve got and focusing on overlaps. Wish me luck 😎 -
Wendy Hollender commented on sheila y.'s Photo 4 years, 11 months ago
I think this is looking awesome Shelia, but I do think you can still get more contrast in your leaves so they don’t look boring by comparison to the amazing vibrancy elsewhere. Look at your stems on the leaves as they connect to the radish, there are good darks and contrast but they still appear to be light green. Push those leaves in the…[Read more]

Autumn is a great time to draw nuts and seeds, fall leaves, and mushrooms! It’s fun when several people are drawing the same subjects at the same time. Join us and draw seasonal specimens! Read more about what to draw this season: https://ckarchive.com/b/wvu2hghmlx27
