Rose - colored pencil study - finished!

I did some additional work on the main flower, the stems, and also the leaf. I think it's finally finished. It's been a fun project to get some practice with the colored pencils.

Rose - colored pencil study - almost done

The rose is coming right along. I spent a good bit of time this evening on the rest of the stems, and then working on the buds and the one leaf study that I included. I thought I might be done, but realized that I still need to work on the center of the rose itself. Still needs a bit of shaping/shading.

So, I'll leave it for now and hopefully do some final touching up to finish it.

Impatiens studies

These are some studies of an Impatien that I did for a botanical drawing class. I like this one because it shows the one leaf with a tear in it.
And the one below includes some of the flowers and a bud. I really enjoyed the habit of the plant - the way the leaves draped and curved. Fun one to draw.
