Beautiful Cathie! Nice ruffled edges! You could go darker with your tones where the petals overlap and also the upper stem needs dark toning where it meets the flower petals. The petals would be casting a shadow on the stem. I think you could add more range of tones (and highlight) to capture the cylindrical form of the stem. I would address the leaf also by adding a highlight and range of tones where needed.
Beautiful Cathie! I love the point of view and your very careful observation of this pretty pansy. I would like to see some really dark darks in the little triangles where the petals meet. I would also try to show how those lateral hairs that are in the center are a bit raised. You can try to do this by getting really dark under and between those two little beds of white hairs, and then also darken the area of the petals that connect to those little white beds of hairs (I’m sure they have a name, but I don’t know what it is).
Thank you ,
I think these informative and instructive comments have really helped me push forward. I love it when you give me pointers on how to achieve a recommendation ☺️
