I started out to see if I could get the garbanzo pods closer to the light color they are. Trying to play around with this Kraft paper. A lot of questions left, but only one more sheet. I’ll definitely get more as soon as we’re back.
The white objects really stand out nicely on the craft paper. The flower at the top center reminds me of a shooting star headed to earth. Lovely colors and I like the random samples above the middle and bottom rows that appear side by side.
Hi Sheila, First let me introduce myself. I just joined the Draw Botanical team and will be helping out the critiques on the Art Feed. Vern will be sending an email with a more detailed introduction soon. Your page is very pleasing to look at! You have used color nicely to create a unified composition. I like the way the darker value of the kraft paper really gives you room to work in both light and dark directions. My criticisms would be that the pear seems a bit flat-as if it’s been smashed in. I think you need to bring the tone around more on the left side to round it out. I’d also like to see a cast shadow on the egg plant, since you have one on the pear sitting right next to it. The garbanzo pods are lovely. They seem almost iridescent. If they aren’t supposed to be, you might want to soften the hilight.

Thanks, Laura. Jasmine does have a shooting star kind of way of hanging off its stem. And now it’s meteor shower time!
Hi Katy, welcome to the online uploads. Thanks for your suggestions. I’ve worked on this a big more and reposted.
