Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 2 months agoI’m working on the chestnut flowers. They are so fun to look at, but today is 81 degrees. Can’t make the meeting live, our condo association has the dreaded annual meeting tonight. Have fun. I’ll watch it tomorrow.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 2 months agoThanks Vern. That is helpful…I don’t usually use water colour at all but now have the recommended wc pencils so will start to try that.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 2 months agoYes you are right. I had a similar feeling after finishing, like it is too picture perfect – i felt i should have chosen a different more irregular leaf, or a different perspective to draw.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 2 months agoThis shrub is Calycanthus, Cinnamon Bush, growing down the street from me! The flower opened in the fridge, so I’m expecting more action if it ever stops raining. Got some room on the page:)

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 2 months agoI’m planning on adding a few other elements, like the center when it flowers! I know the angle is too much. I was trying to get petals and center….

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 3 months agoWow! Beautiful! I love the way you got the roundness of the pine cone, the details on the “scales”, and the lights and darks all around.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 3 months agoThanks, Carol. I see the green cone for the flowers emerging. I’m already intimidated! -

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 3 months agoIf I’ve said this before….but can’t wait to see your flower! Also love your composition and how much information you’ve given on the budding, branches,leaves. Your composition is so unique. Love it!

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 3 months agoI like the comparison of the airy watercolour and the more intense saturated coloured pencil! It’s fun and different!

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 3 months agoSomehow I feel like leaving the branch very light, but I think I still need to do something. Any thoughts?
