Katy Lyness commented on Rita Haft's Photo 4 years, 11 months ago
Nice composition with the flower being framed by the leaf. I love a calla lily! It’s beauty is in the simple shapes. I would try to simplify this drawing. Really look at the veining on the leaf. Go in with some darks and find the strong lines and strong shapes. It needs more darks anyway. Seems a bit flat. Figure out where your light source is coming from.

Hi Jody, I mentioned in your previous drawing of the Bay Laurel that I liked your heavy hand. It’s like mine. In this case however it may be a case of too much, too soon. Or it could be that whatever paper you are drawing on is not holding the wax or oil of the pencil. I wish I could see this drawing in person. It looks like you are trying to get…[Read more]

Hi Jody,
So beautiful! I love the rich colors. You draw like I do, with a bit of heavy hand. I’m not one for the paper showing through. That front yellow leaf is quite nice. The veining is perfect and I like the coloration and texture. However, you need to work on the shadow it casts on the other leaf. It looks like you have 2 light sources.…[Read more] -

@cburke Thanks, Carol. I’m just beginning lettering thanks to the lettering class last month. It was fun. Hope you’re well. -

Love this apple. Beautiful Pam! As someone who has recently started Wendy’s classes it is wonderful to see the development in the comparison of your apples. Maybe one day…..??

@katylyness thanks. This was an experiment using vellum parchment.
-
Wish I could give you advice, but I’ve never used colored pencil on velum.
-
But would seem to explain the difficulty getting the saturation of color.
-
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.

@katylyness thank you for your feedback!

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]

@sam-mcwilliams Thanks Sam! Luckily I did the lettering in pencil in case I changed my mind!

@sam-mcwilliams. Wow, I love that image, thanks Sam. I think it’s the lettering! 🤔 -

I could see this being used as the cover of a book – I’d pick it right up in the bookstore. 🙂

So beautiful. I love the billowing of petals! And the way you captured the variety of pinks! Another one of those drawings I can’t look away from. I particularly like the dark burgundy you get as the petals converge. My suggestions would be a bit more care with the veining of the leaves. It looks like you embossed. I know from experience that can…[Read more]

Hi Katy! Thanks for your kind comments. Did you take this white flowers on Kraft paper class? I will try that rear view although I am a bit burned from this composition 🙂 -
Katy Lyness commented on Elizabeth Simonson's Photo 4 years, 11 months ago
These are beautiful. You have used white on the craft paper very skillfully. Using the color of the paper to create the shadow toning is difficult, but you have pulled it off! I also like that you are showing the flower at different angles. You should do more pages of these flowers positioning them at different angles. Try one from the back!

Beautiful! Thanks for showing us your first apple. It is great to see your development! And I like the added green.

Hi Wendy,Sam and Vern. I am not quite sure if this is the place to load the work from the workshop but I figured you will find it somehow. Thanks so much for this fab lesson. I really, really like the medium of the watercolor on Kraft paper although it is quite a learning curve.
