        Our grocer had these luscious mandarin oranges on the stem, and I was really excited to do a study of one. It also served as good leaf practice–I’ve only tried leaves once before, and yep–they are as challenging as everyone says they are! :lol:

            That’s a great orange. I love the texture.

                        Botanical studies take meticulous observation, and you have excelled. Well done, and please show us more.

                        As long as there is light, I will paint it.

                                    Thanks for the positive feedback, everyone! The leaf is less convincing for me than the orange is (color was close, proportions and shading a bit off), but I’m encouraged to keep practicing :)
