Ha! Patience patience patience, right? Just keep Wendy’s voice/comments in your head and think about the overall form of the whole large flower head and don’t forget your highlights and focal points. I am here encouraging you! It’s a big deal to take on complicated projects. Way to go.

Yes keep going! This is going to look great. Just try to tackle one part at a time. You’ll get there. I love this color! Purple and blue mixing together is one of my favorites!!! You got this, Amanda.
Your flower is beautiful. I love the purple! I like the shape, also. Thanks for posting your unfinished left-side leaf. Interesting to see how you are doing the toning. Is that watercolor and if so, will you go over it w/colored pencil?
Thanks so much everyone for the encouragement! Much appreciated! It’s been a bit of a challenging relationship with this flower! Laura, re: the material. I’m not using watercolor, just coloured pencils, which is why I think it’s driving me spare. It might be easier with watercolour pencils? I’ve never worked with them and I guess they would give a smoother finish.
Progress of sorts. I was remembering Pam’s comment, ‘there’s always an ugly stage!’. And to try to get beyond wanting to rip it up!!
