Wow Renata! I love the composition and how the two pieces are relating to each other. A very unique and interesting view! It is beautifully drawn and the colors are wonderful! I could go on and on! Great job!

Wonderful Maureen! The colors are so pleasing! A couple of things to consider – personally I would not have a cast shadow on the pear as you have a cut view below it. I would add a little more toning to the whole (not cut view) pear emphasize it’s form.

I had a hard time with this one, Doug. Pleased you think I got a good result. Those tiny flowers are a lot of trouble!

@doug-milne thanks for your tips! Is there a way to correct the cast shadow now that it’s been painted? I always enjoy the option to erase colored pencil but have always wondered how to adjust watercolor.

Hi Maureen- maybe Pam can offer some suggestions too as she does a lot of watercolor work. As with color pencils and watercolor a lot depends on what color you are trying to lighten or lift. Reds, purples, etc. are nearly impossible. I would play around on a practice sheet. The main way to lift watercolor that I know is to go over the area you…[Read more]

Gorgeous!

Thank you, Doub and Becky! This place was very atmospheric! I am finding the tress in the background a bit flat though, I think I will add more branches to give them more depth. Also, what about the grass? Oh, and last, I think some of the branches in the big tree curve too smoothly – the real ones were more angular and had curves that sometimes…[Read more]

Bonny, it’s great to see you practicing these tomatoes. You are getting there! The hot press watercolor paper really does make a difference, doesn’t it?
You have the right idea on the toning of this tomato. You are showing us that your light source coming from the upper left by making the lower right side darker than the left side, and by showing…[Read more] -

oooh, Sheila. This is really lovely. That columbine is beautiful! That’s a tough flower to draw, and you nailed it. The structure is great, and the color matching is wonderful. Your tulip flower is lookin gorgeous. The stem of the tulip and all of the leaves look like they could be worked on a little more. They look a bit unfinished to me. But…[Read more]

Loved watching you build this at the workshop. That mix of the large tulip with the smaller flowers is working really nicely.

Fun to see the combination of your cutouts and your drawings on the page. So fun to watch you explore these techniques!

We had a great time at our drawing tulips workshop on Wendy’s Farm last week. It was a lot of fun to get to teach in-person. This was my demo page. I kept adding elements (ala Wendy) to demonstrate different techniques. If you’ve never been to Wendy’s farm, you should try to find a time to visit. It’s a little chunk of paradise.
