Can you share how you get the veining so fine? I am a novice and getting small tiny lines is a struggle for me right now. Your work is beautiful Pam.

PS i find the photos very useful as i can see the light better there than in real life. Maybe just my eyes, i wear glasses for close up and sometimes struggle to see detail.

      Thank you Vern. I live in Vancouver, the great PNW. I have looked for anything that might be suitable and found nil – other than pine cones. I walk in several areas and i am always picking up subjects for drawing, but just can’t seem to find anything that worked for that lesson.

          Thanks for the feedback…i also was unhappy with how straight the highlight was and tried changing it to not much avail. Will work on this.

                        This tomato and every drawing i have done (except the first lemon) has watercolor incorporated but i may not be using enough color ….so i’m trying to now amp it up and it made a difference in the branch i tackled last night.
