Orchid drawing

Artwork by Malvina James, Drawing Academy student

Hi Malvina,

Thank you for your drawing. I like it very much. Well done!

I hope you enjoyed the botanical drawing.

I can tell that you spent a great deal of time on the background. Next time, you may want try treating the background as optional, suggesting it rather than rendering it completely.

Here are some drawings by Russian artists. You can see that even incomplete sketches look very good without fully rendered backgrounds.

Once again, thank you for your wonderful artwork.

Best regards,
Vladimir
