    Ya, the tendrils are so much fun! They add so much intrigue, movement and just plain interest to this plant 😀😀

        Thanks Carol, the flowers must be coming soon because the leaves are bursting open now!

            That’s a good guess, but these were a gift from a friend who visited a greenhouse in New Jersey! I am looking forward to seeing the “real” outdoor sweet peas with tendrils. These didn’t have any, but the petals kept me busy!

                Wow! Nice furry buds! And I like the second one that has progressed and flung open. Can’t wait to see the horse chestnut flower you do 😁😁😁😁😁

                I really like this drawing. It is very subtle. I like the graphite setting up the softness of the coloured tulip. Very nice!

                A very interesting composition! You’ve even got the dropped petal ( extra marks from Wendy😉😉)I really like the split open tulip with inside parts!

                You must be still in Spain! There certainly aren’t any sweet peas in North North America 😃

                Thanks Vern. It’s horse chestnut. I’m practicing petals to get ready for the intimidating flowers of this tree 😎.

                    I left room on the paper after doing the branch on the right and then the warm temperature indoors really got things going! Now I’m wondering if the leaves will really open up! This spring is blasting open around here. I’m going crazy looking at everything blooming!

                            Thank you all! I have a hard time laying down saturated color, but I’ll keep working on it. I see that Wendy really bears down on the pencils, so I’ll have to take that approach and overcome my tentativeness.

                            Thanks Vern. Please send photos of some varieties. I’m curious. I’ll try to get leaves and seeds this summer. Lucky you guys in Hawaii!!!

                                Love it, especially the toning on the right and the little leaf!

                                Thanks, Pam. Didn’t watch online meeting yet. Now getting over jet lag!
