Great page Mary Jo! I particularly like the underside view of the yellow rose! I find the view of the orange rose a little confusing and I think some toning would help it read better. Nice job!!!

Agree; love that yellow rose from the back! Since you’re using Kraft paper, you may want to add a few more lights/highlights to your red, yellow, and orange rose to give us a full range of tone–a tough thing to do on Kraft paper! 🙂 (I love that white petal with the pink veining–reminds me of insect wings!)
Thank you Doug and Vern for your comments and advice. These roses are so difficult. I drew them several times from the front unsuccessfully . Then I drew them from the back several times and erased over and over.
I think I will draw the orange/pink one again and photograph it with the original specimen. All of the colors are off. I finally decided to just do what I could color wise. Again, thank you. MaryJo
