Fabulous tonal work, Carole, superbly drawn, and yes, you've captured the spikey, hairy texture in spades!

Beautiful drawing Carole, whatever style you choose your paintings are always so well painted. The tones are so well drawn as is the hairy, spikey stem and leaf.

A really super sensitive drawing Carole - I love the crumpled petals, and you have caught the hairiness of the stems very effectively.

This is a beautiful drawing, the texture really shows well. Flowers move so quickly when you start to draw them don't they!

B and 2B pencil drawing. This was just opening this am, all creases then opened quickly! Hope I have conveyed the spikey, hairy texture in the stem and leaf.
