Lovely Carole another great painting

This is extremely good Carole! Have you thought about trying to get into royal horticultural society's exhibition? I don't know if you have to be a member but you could find out.

this is a lovely delicate piece of work Carole its so finely painted superb.

A beautiful botanical painting, Carole. I love the Lichen on the tree. Just lovely.

Brilliant, will have a go myself tonight,<br />cheers<br />peter

Super piece Carole and good strong composition.

Thanks very much. Afraid not much patience Satu, this took hours and much prefer looser work these days. I did this couple of years ago. It takes such concentration to complete this sort of work!

I love it, Carole! Love the details and texture on the branches. Also, your greens are wonderful. Can you remember what colours you used for them?

Beautiful painting, Carole - so skilfully painted with such an eye for detail.

Beautifully painted, with a super palette and wonderful attention to detail, Carole.

A beautiful study Carole, love the lichen.

Thanks so kind! Geraldine, as far as I remember ( memory not brilliant) I tend to use just sap green with a touch of burnt umber or touch of scarlet lake . Depends on the type of plant and the season. Another nice green is indanthrine blue with cad yellow pale. Also depends what&#39;s on my palette to hand. Hope this helps🤔

Lovely botanical illustration Carole.

Carole, I am in love with berries and surely am with yours. So very well executed with so much charm!
