The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board

Been, I thought you were going to say that about the flowers, lol. I will add some more toning. :).

Lise, it’s a cultivar (but I can’t remember which) if native honey suckle. The hummingbirds love it! Someone teach me how to draw a bird!

So cool! The colors almost look metallic on that paper. Gorgeous.

What is this plant? You’e done a lovely job rendering the form and color.

Especially the half-cut strawberry is beautiful and conveys so much about the structure of the fruit.

So much great information here! I love it.

I love this page, Vern! So cool to see the details of the developing pear, especially.

Thx! The other cultivar name is ‘ Ballerina ‘. How appropriate is that!
Does anyone else have the same issue as I do?? I am taking these photos with an iPad camera and they always appear grainier than they are in real life. Vern, do you ever hear that complaint??

Yes an embossing tool on the middle one. The leaves are beautifullly pleated😀 I am thinking I am going to have to find a real, native beech tree somewhere. And at the right time of year!! Which may be the more difficult thing to do!!

I knew that leaf was off! Will rework it and see how it goes. 🙂

Love this! Love how it looks on the toned background.

Love the colors in this

WOW.

Very nice! My year long study is a rhododendron. Still waiting for the flowers to develop.

So beautiful!

hey nice job here, you can also stop at a farm stand or grocery store and get some fresh produce to draw, a tomato, a carrot, citrus etc. Have fun!

There are so many flowers falling the ground is purple!

This magnolia is in bloom here in south Spain! I’ll be showing up at midnight!

This is jacaranda that is throughout the city here in South Spain.
