Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoVern, I’ve been working on the seeds and got carried away. The real things glow from inside and I think I’ll need to do 100’s to get that, but I love looking at them. So maybe I will do 100s!

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agothank you for your encouraging feedback Vern. I see what you say about the shadow, and see now how dark it is. I’ll try lightening it, and fading it more. -

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoThanks Vern. I think I’ll leave it since I have a heavy hand with shadows:) -

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agothanks Vern. I appreciate your feedback. I’ll try breaking up the highlight – yes, that makes sense to me. And yes, this is my first project in The Practice of Botanical Drawing – I posted a few others that I did in the Basics course. -

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoThanks Vern. Time and place definitely made me decide on focal point. Kind of a relief, just a section! -

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 7 months agoThis is the other sepia and grey study of satsuma clementines. Besides no “color “, I did these two in a hotel room. The lighting was fixed on my right, so it was my first time drawing with the light from the right. (Which is comfortable because I’m left handed. ). So two new experiences.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 7 months agoCarol, it’s interesting to see it bloom with brown leaves that just keep curling! The bush is still opening here and there and it’s very cold now!?! -
