Your tulip is beautifully rendered Carol! I love how you captured the curves and movement of the stem and leaves. I think you could saturate your colors more and I expect to see more toning especially on the flower. You are off to a good start!!!
Carol- the details you have achieved here are beautiful! At this stage I am finding it hard to tell what the main color of the tulip is. It looks like you have used purple for the toning on the pink and rose colored areas very effectively. Regarding the section on the right that is purple, is purple the predominate color of those petals or does the purple represent toning? Do you have a photo of the flower you can post?
I think this needs to go darker, but am unsure which color or colors to use for the shadow areas.

Love, love the leaves.

Hi, Doug, It is a pink tulip. I’ve used red violet in the shadow areas. I posted a photo reference for this earlier. It is on my portfolio page.
Exquisite!
I love this tulip, I can feel it’s velvety texture.
