Really good pastel botanical, fab textures

It’s beautifully drawn , you have captured that rubber look that theses plants have.

Excellent artwork.

I can feel the waxy surface of this plant. Beautifully drawn and painted.

A simple subject beautifully captured.

Very well captured, you’ve created the feel and texture so well!

You've caught the shine of this succulent. I have a similar plant, the common name is money plant or tree. Could be the same as yours?

This little stem fell off my main plant and I was intrigued by the shapes. I've been trying to do an art study every day, so I got my Carbothello pastel pencils out today. Very nice medium, they blend so nicely on Clairefontaine Pastelmat. Image size: 12cm x 18cm
