Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 8 months agoRainy day here, so I’m working on things I started. I think the highlight needs tweaking and maybe the top, dark edge. Not getting a shiny highlight yet…

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 8 months agoI’m wondering about if the pears are toned enough, the “piercing” stem of the pear on the left and open to suggestions:)

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 8 months agoLove these juicy little gems! I like your contrast between the dull fuzzy pods and the shiny orange seeds. Apparently the birds love them too 😁

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 9 months agoI can see the highlights and “other color areas” are to big and regular, but I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to them yet. Open to suggestions! Thanks.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 9 months agoThis is great. Can see you creating your composition. I love this style of page with a graphite background and color in front.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 9 months agoThe seed pod dried out and here are the seeds! That was so exciting and it’s way ahead of the trees outdoors because of being in my fridge, on my table, and the heat and AC! Still working on the drawing.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 9 months agoI chose magnolia for my Sketchbook of the Seasons and this is the fruit/seed pod of the trees I’ve been studying. I can’t wait to see the seeds inside!

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 9 months agoVery pretty! Your pistol is great! And I just love those wavy petals! It’s so wonderful to have those late bloomers like the Rose of Sharon around in August 😀

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 9 months agoThank you Sheila. I love this flower and have decided to pass on the rhododendron with its 15 flower inflorescence and focus on the Rose of Sharon for my year long study. It’s just more inspiring to me.
