Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoYou’ve got a lovely elegant form, very voluminous and a good range of tones!

Lise commented on a
Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoSuch good color and texture! You have a really good highlight there too. I find it so hard to keep the gradual tones toward the middle of the highly and you’ve done it here. I bet you that Wendy is going to encourage you to erase just teensy bit at the center to give you a true light highlight!

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoI’m liking this composition, Pam. It’s the hardest part of the getting a more complex drawing going. Is this a larch?

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoOh, I had asked you on a previous photo if you use color. I like the texture you’re getting on that acorn. It has that sort of bleached bloom coming in nicely. I agree that you could add a bit more contrast, but it’s lovely.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoMay I ask what pen you’re using? Do you do a lot of layout before you start to use ink? How big is this leaf on the page? So many questions!

Lise commented on a
Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoOo! That lichen is so cool! I haven’t seen that kind before. Where are you? It’s rendered so beautifully, too. Do you work in color or mostly in black and white?

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoHendrika, I think the surface is so good and also the little stem top. Very brave! I’m intimidated by those bumps!

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoVern, thanks so much for the detailed suggestions and definitely your drawing on top helps. I’ll go back in! On Saturday, I was studying a bouquet of yellow roses at a little market in town and then I went to the counter to pay for the bread I was buying. I paid up and then the cashier went over to the bucket holding the roses and handed me the y… -

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agothanks so much for that feedback Vern. I’m glad veins are considered difficult – I sure am finding them to be so. I’ll keep working on learning how to do them, and will implement your suggestions! -
