    Default Wildflower

    Something that I started years ago but never got around to finishing. I found it the other day while cleaning out the archives, and decided to get some practice with my new XDP6.

    There is a slightly larger version on my web site.

    C&C welcome

    Wow Alanti, that looks great! I really like it. Something you might want to try is to feather some of those shapes on the petals a bit more to smooth them into the rest to give it more of a watercolor feel, but other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

    Very nice indeed, it's more like an acrylic painting than watercolour.

    That is a very beautiful flower. Like Penny said it reminds me of an acrylic painting.

    This one doesn't paint so excuse his ignorance...

    To me it looked like a painting and the first word that popped into my head was 'watercolor'.

    I still thing that a slight blurring of the shapes on the petals would make things more realistic as the edges seem quite sharp to me. But please that my suggestions with a grain of salt.

    Very nice, a beautiful flower. Well done. RUSS-USSR I like the way you did the shadows, I would have never thought of that. Thanks for the tip
