Beautiful flow, Maureen, so graceful. I’d suggest some darker greens in some leaf areas to create more drama, especially to set off against the mid tone of the Kraft paper. And maybe a bit more attention to the area where the bud sits in front of the open flower in the centre. Even though it’s close to a highlight – I think it can get a bit darker to show the front and behind? Maybe a bit of darker colour/toning on the right side of that bud would help that too. Beautiful drawing.
Hi Sam, I brought in dark sepia and the gang, will post modifications later this week. Thank you for your tips, I did initial sketches outside on tracing paper then played with composition. It’s growing under our apple tree so was fun to hang out together in the cool mornings.

Maureen!!! This is so lovely. I am just so proud of you. 🙂 Great suggestions from Sam; can’t wait to see this with a few Dark Sepia punches. Really great work. So glad you are liking the Kraft paper! It seems like it’s totally your style.
Ohh that is so pretty! It has a mystical quality. I feel like I can hear a gentle stream plashing in the background. Nice lines and colors!
