This hydrangea is an exercise from "Botanical Illustration Course with the Eden Project." It has helped restore my confidence in my ability to create good color with colored pencil. This is on Fabriano Studio 140# hot press watercolor paper. I found that it really does not have enough tooth for this medium. Since I bought a 50 sheet pad, I'm hoping I will like it better with watercolors.
Eventually I will be trying the same hydrangea with watercolors. Have signed up for a watercolor course with CityArt here in Columbia. Six weeks beginning January 17. Everybody says it is a very difficult medium, but I plan to give it a try.
