Used tan paper because white paper would not allow white to show plus no leaves yet on this plant to draw seed head against.

This video gave me the idea of using a watercolour base for that catkin.

I think I am beginning to really understand the concept of shading. I find I probably concentrate too hard on getting the colours right and don’t complete the necessary shading to show the form of the flower. Just need to keep practising!!!

I do have trouble with toning especially on small light coloured flowers. Well probably on all flowers! Will try to take a black and white photo of another coltsfoot flower. I noticed that on the photograph the cut specimen looked much darker than in real life. I will try another specimen.

I find edges difficult as the colour seems to want to spread out! I have also completed a section of the tangerine but not sure whether it looks dry or juicy?
