Wow, continues to be so hard to draw and color real flowers! But fun. I’m having a lot of trouble blending colors to look smooth and delicate on the petals.
Hi Clotilde- nice job on this lily! The colors are really nice! It is currently a little hard to read because the petals and stamens are the same color. The highlight on the curled petal on the right is really good! It took me a while to see that was a curled petal and adding more dark toning on the underside of the curl would help it read better. Adding some dark toning on the base of the petals to emphasize the well would be expected and would benefit the drawing. It would also help the stamens stand out more. You are almost there!

Thank you Doug, I will make all of those adjustments.
