Please any comments welcome! ![IMG_1116](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/0/016d867e25a617f5bf188d0f211d85cbdaabd1df.jpeg) This about 6" square on Dura-lar paper with faber castell polychromos colored pencils. This was a project from Feb 2022 Colored Pencil Magazine. I am slowly working my way thru the ones that interest me. I enjoy these cause this is written instruction which is totally more challenging than live instruction. I did not have all the colors that the project asked for but I heard Matt’s voice telling me it is all about value and to trust my eye! I overall pleased with this but did struggle with the center and finally decided to walk away! ---

THAT IS A-MAZING! 😱 The style and lines of the colored pencils on the roses, WITH the nice changes of color, very well done! 🌹 ---

Very nicely done. Your values are spot on, but maybe a little bit more blending in the transitions, especially in the dark areas of the outer leaves. Beautiful! —\>Susan ---

Veeery beautiful 🌹 I’m not good at coloured pencils…how many layers this rose costs? ---

I would say 5-7 layers? depends on how much variety the petals ---

What a wonderful drawing with great attention to detail. Admire the way you caught that blue reflection that red roses have. How long did it take you? ---

Beautiful work! I am impressed how you managed the full range of values while still keeping it a middle red color! I’d have ended up with most of it near black or pink, the range of midtones you blended is wonderful and flows with the contour nicely. ---

It probably took me 6-8 hours. Very enjoyable hours. I wasn’t in a hurry and worked on it a bit most days ---
