Really nice, Hayden. Those textures are all wonderful. I love the highlight on the grapefruit. – very natural looking. Well done.

I’m loving your Kraft paper pieces. The stem on the inflorescence is a tad stick straight. It can look more natural if you draw it with a little movement. Stems tend to bend just a bit at each node.

So much fun, Hayden.

What a beautiful and thoughtful gift. Love it.

Ooooh. Hayden. This is outstanding! Sooooo realistic. I feel like I could pick them up and eat them.

I love this Maureen. Those colors and the composition are wonderful.

Nice, Becky! I love your shimmery highlight.

Very nice, Becky. I love drawing branches. They are so much fun.

Sheila, This turned out gorgeous. How did you feel about using the pen? I really liked it, and plan to journal more. Such a great workshop!

Beautiful Helene! I love the composition! The flowers are gorgeous, but I am also impressed with the leaves whose colors and texture are spot on!

The lower section of highlight on the red pear is good, but the pointy…[Read more]

My eye keeps going to the nasturtium flower and leaf and the 2 green leaves next to it. I don’t feel like that is the side that needs something. I think the large pale yellow flower at least needs a portion of it’s stem coming out of the bottom. It is the only main piece that is not grounded and it is throwing me.

Beautiful, concise, simple illustrations! Wonderful architectural handwriting!

Good job on the branch Becky. There is a good range of tones. There are a couple of things I would tweak. You could lighten either side of the highlight a little so there is more transition in your toning. The width of the actual branch looks pretty uniform from top to bottom, but on your drawing it is wider above the side branches than it is…[Read more]
