HI Darlene, nice overall drawing. I would recommend integrating some Purple Violet #136 mixing with the dark sepia, so that it is not so much an outline feeling of the dark sepia. Overall the leaf you feel that the shadows still have red in them and not scream dark sepia. You can dry layering the wine over what you have now. And also this will give a bit more of a range of tones. Overall your tones are all in the mid range and could use a bit more variation. I would also love to see you add to this page. Perhaps an element at the top left side.
Patty, the plant is an Oregon Grape from the winter. Just now had time to work with it. Wendy, I will try the Purple Violet to get a better range of color. Thanks for the feedback.
Is this some type of Holly? Really captured the way the leaves bend inward at the center!
