Colored pencil roses
Art by @Ilga
Drawn from a garden photograph. This took me much longer than expected. I kept stopping because I was getting discouraged. I still don't like the leaves, but there's not too much I can do about it at this point.

absolutely gorgeous

@GabiPiper Thanks. I had a devil of a time trying to get the beautiful translucence of the petals. Always difficult for me with roses. They end up being heavy, clunky things. Glad you like the drawing.

The colors here are incredible.

@punka Thank you. I mixed colors from many different colored pencil brands looking for "just the right" color. I started on the lower right rose...which doesn't have quite enough yellow in it (can't do much to fix that)....but laid down more bright yellow in the upper two roses. Thanks again, for liking and commenting!
