Hi Karen- Great subject! You are off to a good start! The colors are really good! I would go in with a very sharp pencil and individualize the seeds. There are a couple of areas where it is just mass, without delineation to express the seeds. I think of pepper skins as being shiny, which I am missing here. I would add a little more shading in the shadow areas. The nodules above the seeds look so good! Your use of the highlights there is really well done!
I’m avoiding the amaryllis bloom….
