This is such a happy subject Becky! There are tops of the petals that are light on all sides even though I would expect some to be in full or part shadow. It might be the quality of the post photo, but the whitish petal tops on the two lower flowers on the right are brighter than the same area of the flowers on the left.

Greetings Helene! Your irises are beautifully rendered and you have done a wonderful job capturing their structure! I think you could go in with some dark toning in appropriate spots to enhance some of the details and make things pop! It seems like some details especially need clarity on the upper half of the flower on the left. The buds are…[Read more]

Gorgeous saturated colors Becky! Wonderful texture and form! I would fix the white line on the right side where the edge of the fruit meets the leaf.

I have never seen this plant in person, so I don’t know what the surface of the petals is like. But I’m wondering whether you might want there to be a highlight on your…[Read more]

I really love this drawing, Becky. It’s such a sweet composition. Your toned-down reflected highlights look great. It’s a really lovely drawing.

Lovely, Susan! I LOVE that leaf, you captured it wonderfully. Your flower is great – those colors are wonderful.

What an interesting plant. I’m really enjoying our compositions.
