Pink Lady Slipper-looking for suggestions!

So pretty! I love the veining in the leaves and the delicate pink on the flower. I get a little lost where the two leaves meet, I can’t tell which one is in front. Maybe darken the one in back.

Thanks, Liz. I am working from a photo that has shadows around the base of leaves. I think darkening the one in back will help…Thanks!

so suggestive ! just beautiful.. what a beautiful plant beautifully rendered

it’s almost more like an exotic animal than a plant… it is amazingly full of character… incredible plant

she is really absolutely enchanting.. i hope you post the finished piece, if you are still darkening this one. it really is just beautiful.

Thank you, Nita! It is such a surprising little orchid-with the pink pouch (slipper) emerging at the end of the thin stem. Your comments are so encouraging!

Susan, what a lovely flower! Great parallel veining in the leaves. I agree with Liz that this drawing could benefit from a few more dark areas to show depth. That back leaf towards the bottom, and up where the stem passes behind the flower. Just a little bit of shading will go a long way here. Lovely work!

Thank you, Vern! Yes, forgot about that area behind the flower-good suggestions and appreciate feedback@

This is beautifully done. I love the subtle colors in the leaves. You’ve shown the textures wonderfully.

The flower pouch is so realistic – beautifully done

Thank you, Nancy!
