GORGEOUS SWAN GOURD! 🙂

Ooh Katy this is awesome. It is SO full of life. I adore it. Well done.

Also cool lettering here! Also, leave me a bit more space to breathe in the lettering, ie between the Cap S, between the 2 words, and between Cap K and the i. Love the style of handwriting.

Beautiful, Jody. I love your drawings so much. In your lettering – I’d give a bit ore space next time in between your letters so that our eye can move about and through he words easier and not get bunched up. I love the style of lettering. Nicely done. Also, I like how the stem fades out at the top – that supports me leading with my eye to the…[Read more]

I agree – that whitewash technique is a revelation. It really is like applying gesso to a canvas, and we can apply it in different thicknesses and build on top of it with our pencils.

love how this turned out. The shadows are so much better making the apples pop but not trying to compete!

I’ve got some small spaces for some possible flowers, seeds and text, but looking for feedback before all my greens die.

Thank you Katy for your helpful feedback! Just did the lesson about overlapping objects… still much to learn, so interesting and lot’s of joy.

Hi Ingrid, I agree with Doug. Your toning is lovely, very sensitive. You just need to push the darks. You are half way there. Looks to me you have only made it to the 6 on the value scale. But be careful where you put those darks, don’t overwhelm the tomatoes. Think of the light source. Where is it coming from. What part of the plant would get…[Read more]

Yes, lovely! You have a way with gourds. The ribbing is a thing of beauty.

Thanks Doug! It’s supposed to look casually composed…but not really.
These are from a tree in my backyard that I might need to remove. So a bit of a eulogy. Ode to crabapple.

Thanks Katy. Yes, I agree the leaves need more work!

Thank you so much for this very helpful feedback. Love this couse and enjoy learning 😊

Nice job Linda! The texture reads well. I would make the highlight a little smaller. I would also saturate the color more. There are many areas that look like they have a milky glaze on them.

Beautiful Ingrid! The color selection is very good. I think you could saturate the color more. The tomato on the bottom is the most successful. It is more saturated and also looks shinier, which I expect from these tomatoes. That bottom tomato’s highlight is whiter than the others and that helps convey a shiny surface. I think the middle tomato o…[Read more]

Gorgeous Katy! It looks like I could pick the crabapples right off the page! I particularly love the leaf on the bottom right! The loose composition works so well too!

Beautiful Jill! The gourd is aptly named! You have really captured the twists and crevices. The subtle markings are very well done too! Great job!
