Without worrying about color you can just concentrate on the shapes, lights and darks. And you'll find out whether or not you enjoy the subject! You can always consider this one a study and do a colored version later.Laurie A.

I will look forward to seeing it develop.<br /> Does it close up when it is going to rain or gets cool, our small ones open up by the fire and close tight when cooler...outside.

Enjoy drawing it - I think graphite is perfect, there's enough going on with the repeated shapes and learning to see the structure. tanjawilmothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02355892257663343417noreply@blogger.com
