Does anyone remember picking a bouquet of dandelion when you were a child? I remember living on a farm when I was a child, where my mother would pick a big bowl of dandelion leaves for a dinner salad. Of course, that was in a time before we poisoned our lawns with weed killer.
If a drawing is more detailed and complex, I will sometimes decide to do the drawing on tracing paper, and then transfer it to the board using white conte pencil. The problem with this is it’s more difficult to control the values when the drawing is transferred, so the line quality has less clarity. You can see the drawing on the board is harder to read. Of course, since I did the drawing, I pretty much know how to deal with the values, so it’s more of a problem for you as a viewer than for me as the artist.
I still need to do more modeling in the flowers on the left, so I will go back into those and do some more work before I decide if I'm ready to post the finished painting.
