I have taken a long break from drawing, so I’m getting back into it with a simple rhododendron leaf from our backyard. Even though I have not yet completed all the assigments for the Practice of Botanical Drawing, I have had a wonderful time learning since I enrolled in the class almost exactly a year ago.

I think this is a well-balanced compostition, but I do think that finding a way to darken that back leaf would add more depth overall. I understand your concern about having the value be too close to the flowers – I am sure that Wendy, Vern, and Doug will have good suggestions about how to do this.

I have done that, and I can see that it helps the drawing. Thank you for the helpful input!

I am about to upload drawings I’ve done of some leaves for the “leaf” lesson, but it is also the first page of my sketchbook. Our shrub is drooping fast – I wanted to do a leaf before it all turns brown. I’ll keep a close eye to see what drops off that would be interesting to draw.

This morning I played flower detective via Google and learned that the flowering shrub in our backyard that I plan to make the subject of my sketchbook of the seasons is a Lucy Rose of Sharon hibiscus. Looking forward to getting started today 🙂

Coincidentally, it was a black-eyed Susan that inspired me to sign up for your classes. I was recently trying to paint one from a photo and was frustrated with my first two attempts. On impulse, I went to the front of our house and picked an actual flower. I still worked from the photo, but having real flower in front of me…[Read more]
