Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 8 years, 5 months agoThanks for the suggestions! Can’t wait to try them out. I didn’t know those center doodads were the flowers. So cool. They were still closed when I clipped this one, but I noticed that they are open now on some of the trees in our woods. I think I need to do a second drawing with the open flowers.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 8 years, 5 months agoThis is lovely I agree with Vern’s comments. FYI the white looking petals are really Brachts and the inside area is actually the flower! @vern -

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 8 years, 5 months agoOh, thank you, Vern, for your comments. I was not sure if I am headed in the right direction with technique. To achieve the effect, I had to create many, many layers. At your recommendation, I will give the next part a try and see how it goes. Thank you so much for your help. (I loved this first lesson so I am eager to try the next one!) -

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 8 years, 5 months agoVern, I’d love to come to the farm. I’ll have to see how things are going here…The top flower is an inside view of a pansy petal. This is one dramatic spring, so much blooming at one time. Overnight, trees seem to be leafing out! -

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 8 years, 5 months agoWe’re only moving across the hall, but it’s so much work!?! So, petal studies for now. What a beautiful spring we’re having here in the mid Hudson Valley, in town and in the woods.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 8 years, 5 months agoLovely. One of the things I’ve been learning from looking at the work in this group is how seemingly mundane objects have their own unique beauty. Your garlic is. Great example of that.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 8 years, 5 months agoI took a closeup of this part because I’m having trouble keeping my color from getting speckled instead of we’ll blended. Any tips to keep this from happening?

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 8 years, 5 months agoThanks! How do I make them less rigid? Make them a bit more wiggly?
