    I added yellow watercolor today and think it’s brighter.

    Hmm. A little more concave, but a little muddy.

      Thanks, Vern. Yes, I think I picked a difficult leaf. Will try again and re-post.

          This feels so light and delicate. Very nice.

          These are beautifully colored and shaded. The form on both is excellent.

          These are lovely patterns. They would be great for material.

          This has lovely colors. I love all the subtle differences you’ve captured in the blues and purples. Gorgeous.

          I love the graceful lines of the narrow stems as well as the dried leaves. Very well done.

          This is lovely. It’s such a surprise….unexpected when you realize the petals are apart.

          This has a lot of energy and movement. Very nice.

          Beautifully done. The details are wonderful. You’ve captured the growth lines and scars well. I also like the composition. It’s very unique.

          The leaves and branch look so realistic. You’ve really capture the way the leaves curl well. Very graceful.

          The heart shapes are the flowers. There is one seed, the one closest to the stem.

          I like how you’ve captured that waxy ‘shine’ on the petal. It’s beautiful how the inside of the petal is a bolder colour than the outside! ( I think that is true of most tulip petals…yes???)
