        Busy weekend but here it is. Watercolour in 7X10″ sketchbook. Had issues with the background.

        The light through the petals is magical …. Super work!

            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.

                        I like how you depicted the light. I agree with Anne, it looks somehow magical.

                                Thanks all for your comments.

                                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.

                                Dramatic darks set this bloom off nicely! Looks effortless :yahoo:
