However the advice is duly noted. I definitely see how overlapping subjects is more pleasing to the eye.

I see that you have rendered a beautiful pear of the same variety I’m presently doing. Your colours seem so fresh and there is absolutely no smudgy toning that so many of my drawings have. I would love to get advice on how to achieve that freshness while giving the fruit a 3D feel.

I used Olive Green Yellowish for the grisaille; much too dark. It had a nice toning effect until I added the cadmium yellow and then I couldn’t get it to blend. Yellow seems to clump on the surface of the paper preventing it from blending. I will definitely follow up on your suggestions. Which purple would you recommend?

I feel like the tulip petals are muddy looking again and they don’t look silky. Not sure how to achieve that. All advice welcome. Leaves? Stems?

I have placed the highlights lower but still not sure if they are in the right spot. They should probably be brighter but I couldn’t lift enough colour to achieve that.

I tried to improve the composition by adding some butterflies. I couldn’t find a way to create some interaction between the the individual flowers/stems so this is my compromise. Interested to get some feedback. Thanks.
