Beautifully drawn Karye! It looks like it is drawn on grey paper or the photograph is dark.

It’s on white paper, Stonehenge Aqua. I think my phone for some reason darkened the paper in this photo.

Wow Vern! There are no words! Just sublime!

I took a break from my holly and orange drawing when I found Hellebores at the nursery.

It is hellebore season. We are still getting snow and my hellebores are blooming away! Wonderful study Erin! The colors and details are spot on! Beautifully drawn!

Thank you Doug! That was a ton of fun.

Striking colors! Suggestion: since it is a vine, maybe think of bringing the main stem down further to run behind the vine of the pod.

Beautiful Rita! Wonderful colors and details! Seems like the underside of the leaf would have some shadow toning.

This is homework drawing for a class I am taking at the North Carolina Botanical Garden. It was done after the Orchid drawing on-line workshop with Sam and Pam. What I learned from the orchid workshop really helped me. I had to do this in watercolor. I like the color saturation that the watercolor allows but I had problems with making the dark…[Read more]

Beautiful Machi! The drawing is wonderful as are the colors and details. I agree with you about the darks. I feel like the leave’s definitions in particular would benefit from the addition of more dark toning. But still beautiful nonetheless!

Wow Isabel! Gorgeous! It is beautifully drawn and the details are amazing! You have done a fantastic job with the flowers. They are so fresh and crisp and even though they have a lot of white they really stand out on the white paper. It is hard to look away from that center, front facing flower! Bravo!

I wanted a little holiday project but I am slow. Here I have added a dried orange slice. My next goal is to combine them.

Nice Erin! The orange (fruit) colors are very good and it has a fresh, juicy quality as you would expect.
