Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 10 months agoWell, I definitely made a beginner’s mistake on the red crabapple! The fruit from the tree I cut them from is like the apples on the branch. I had them imagined red when ripe but maybe not! I’ll try some erasing and work some green in if I can. Thanks so much! -

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 10 months agoThanks, Dee. It is interesting to see all those tiny bumps and wrinkles and wonder how to show them. I still wonder! -

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 10 months agoThank you Shelia. I sit staring at the flower for a long time figuring out which way things go. It’s kind of peaceful. It helps that it smells nice.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 10 months agoThe leaves spread out so beautifully and the red berries draw us right back in. The text and magnifications fit perfectly. Do you plan it all out ahead?
