    I’m really enjoying the process. But my tomato looks more like a peach..))

            Thank you so much for your critique! I had all but given up on this one but will rework with each of your recommendations. 🙂

              Thank you so much! I’m not sure what kind of tree it is but I’ve been trying to figure it out. Do you have any website recommendations for plant identification?

                Very nice!! I like how it looks shiny, and I feel like if I touched your drawing of the petal, it would feel silky.

                  that”s supposed to say “workshop”, not worship, lol.
                  although I do kind of worship Wendy.

                    Nice job on the feather! I do think you can get sharper edges on your feather strands and have a bit more contrast. Right now all areas are dark, and sometimes areas can be left lighter especially in the overlaps leaving the ones on top lighter. All in all great job!

                        Thanks for the feedback. I’m working on the watercolor module at the moment, but I’ll give the feather another try soon.

                      I agree with Vern’s comments, but I am wondering , how was the pot roast?

                        I really like your tomato. I like how the skin looks shiny like a tomato does in real life.

                          Oops, it posted before I could type. I gently added some shading into the highlight areas to make them a bit less stripy looking. I also lifted a bit with a kneaded eraser in an attempt to make it a bit less of a straight line. Not a huge different but yes an improvement, Thanks Wendy!
