Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 8 years, 1 month agoI really like this study, Dee, and all your discussion about burnishing. It’s so helpful when people share their process! I’m a little confused about the identification, though. I’m not seeing an oak seed (aka acorn). Could it be an oak gall?? Or is it the angle you chose? Just wondering.-
You’re absolutely right! I’ve never heard of an oak gall before. Thanks so much for pointing that out. I’m new to this and love learning about it all! 🙂

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 8 years, 1 month agoThank you so much, Sheila! I keep looking until I find a branch where the leaves fall in a pleasing way, so I can’t take credit for that! I lay the branch down and draw from that position or sometimes use a flower frog. I just finished Wendy’s lesson on composition and it was so inspiring! 🙂
