Thanks, Sam. Welcome aboard to Botanicals. I had tired of working on this; but with some space now, I’ll take your cues and add stem and leaves. I’m experimenting with another neutral color for toning s pale pink like this. I felt the dark sepia was too heavy. Maybe even a grey would work, or mauve (too purple?). I’ll play with it for the next one.

I feel like I have a heavy hand in my shading and toning–I’ll keep working to create contrasts without shading everything!

I didn’t actually have a cylinder to light. Is that what will happen when you light one?

This is fabulous! What size paper and how long did this take you do do?

This is really fantastic. I love the texture of the leaves and the toning on the stems. What size drawing is this?

Hi Eleanor, I’ve looked at your posts and what really stands out is your style! I see it in all of your paintings. It’s very unique. Do you draw other things besides botanicals?

Gorgeous. Those whites, blues and purples look so awesome on the Kraft paper, right? So luminous.

Thanks, Sam. It was definitely fun to use white and blue, almost never used them. Hablas español?

Very good study, Rebecca – keep up the good work. Always tone down the reflective highlight a bit – the one from the surface the form sits on on the right – it shouldn’t be too bright.

Also, where that light edge line met the white of the paper, I used a very sharp chromium green opaque on the outside edge to define it a bit. -

Thanks so much! To get the general shapes and curves of the edges of the leaves I carefully observed the plant. I was working from a photo that I took, because it wilted pretty quickly. But we have a ton of milkweed, so I brought fresh leaves inside every day to observe closely while I drew them. That helped tremendously. There was a lot of detail… - Load More
