Beautifully done. I love how you did the subtle shadows. The background is better than you think but it can be difficult to get what you want in a sketchbook.

dupliKate, I drew the rough sketch then put in the shadow. Next I used my watercolour marker to make the coloured tips on the petals and blended them, then the veins were next and more blending. I did the background and then went in with watercolour gouache to add more light to the petals.

You make that sound easy…….
