I saw the photo for the Virtual Sketch Date this month and immediately wanted to draw this in graphite. I was attracted to the details in the petals and I thought this would be really fun to capture in pencil — even though I have been trying to get more colorful lately. The color of the flower is so intense and it would have looked gorgeous in watercolor. I ran out of time however, as all of my energies this week are going into prepping for my upcoming class on portraits and figures in watercolor. I really need to practice!
