Hi Stormy
No big deal - my name is misspelled all the time, including from people I have known for a long time. I just thought it would help you and others if I clarified.
Teri (with1r) is on the forum often and will see your message. Or you can always private message her here if you like.

Hi @Appelmoes -
This drawing is incredible, and so is the YouTube of you drawing it. Thanks so much for sharing.

First square of twenty, hydrangeas image will be 12x14 on pastelmat maize color (yellower) with all kinds of pastel pencils.
It will take me forever but I am enjoying every second of it 
OHHHHH!!! Sonia.
That is crazy good and I love how you are using the grid to draw / complete one square at a time.
Please post a few more progress shots as you continue to work on this.
You are an amazing artist. And that is the truth.
Terri Robichon
Thank you Terri,
it means a lot coming from you. Did you see all the different measurements marks? Plus I started at the bottom accidentally, don’t ask me how, because my intention was to start at the top left so I flipped the picture in my ipad, I even wrote the words up and down on the board it’s taped on … double sigh!

WIP from a photo I toke in June 2012
8x10 Mushroom on 9x12 Strathmore Serie 400 Drawing Paper smooth surface. This was started 2 mounts ago but, due to others priorities, it had to wait. It’s not easy to get back into the spirit of this drawing after so long.
Hi Pierre -
What you’ve done is looking really good. I know what you mean about having a hard time getting into the flow again. But this is definitely worth the effort.
Terri Robichon
Hi Terri,
Thank you so much
Once you get the pencil in your hand and do a couple of strokes, you’ll start getting into it until finished. The tree bark is awesome already! I can’t wait to see it completed!
Sonia
Pierre, I echo Sonia. Please put pencil to paper so that we may have the opportunity to enjoy the finished work.
Jim
Your drawing is fantastic! I enjoy all of the artist work here. Each medium brings another engaging image. Thank you for posting.

Today I finished my first ever watercolor pencil drawing/painting. I used a reference photo from Anna Mason, from when I was taking watercolor classes there.
5x7 on 300 lb Arches watercolor paper using Faber-Castell watercolor pencils.

Terri W2Rs,
Oh my goodness gracious, how beautiful!
How do you like WC pencils compared to regular WC paint? You have such amazing control of WC paints that I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!
Sonia
Hi Sonia -
This was a lot like drawing with regular colored pencils rather than like painting. I watched Matts watercolor pencil lesson of 3 sunflowers before doing this, and that was helpful.
I did the leaves first. I put a base coat down with a couple colors and then blended with water. Reviewed what it looked like and kept adding layers. Then I moved on to the yellow of the tulips, doing the entire tulip in yellow and building up layers for the different values. I always started light, working my way to dark (which is what I do with watercolor paints.) Since yellow is a lighter color than red, the red could easily sit on top of the yellow. The red details are drawn without applying any water.
I’ll have to see with different reference photos if I take the same approach. So far, so good.

Miss Terri;
Your tulips are absolutely beautiful!
I hope to paint that well one day ( with lots of practice).
Have you ever considered selling your art?
I think you could make a living with your beautiful art.
Stormy
Beautiful “DRAWING”!
I’ve had people ask if they can buy my work but they all took a lot of time to create . So I don’t sell my work. And I don’t want my hobby to become a job. But that was kind of you to ask.
Terri Robichon
Terri, you always put a smile on my face when you post your work.
Fantastic!
Jim
