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]

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

@doug-milne thank you so much, our begonias are so inspiring every season. I overwinter the bulbs and am always delighted when they come into bloom.

@doug-milne Thanks for your ideas about the leaf, it really bothers me too and I like your possible solution so I will try it out.

Considering a few other additions, especially by the nasturtium. Thoughts?

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.
-
Thanks, Doug. I see what you mean. I’ll work on it.
-
My eye lands on the natsurtium leaf. I think it’s because it’s like a bullseye, and centered so perfectly within the negative space on the right. Maybe try having the flower overlap on top of it a bit?
-
Yes, worked on that a few days ago. I’ll upload the photo. Thanks!

Nice composition Hayden. Maybe it is the quality of the post, but these subjects look faded and in need of more color saturation. They could also use more of a tonal range to emphasize their form. They are almost there!

Great job Becky! You have a good range of tones with a nice highlight which give the tomato wonderful form! Your color selection and saturation is also wonderful!

Hi Maureen- the highlights in particular are wonderful! There is something about the position of the large leaf on the right that bothers me. Personally, I would add a piece of stem with a curl in it come out from the lower right edge of the leaf. I think that would help the composition.

Beautiful Mary! The leaves are wonderful! I would consider making some of the leaf overlaps darker. I would also expect the flowers to cast shadows. The flowers are amazing too and adding some dark behind them would really make them pop!
