Beautiful Marjorie, love the effect of those pastels, (might give mine a go lol)

Wow the pastel has worked so well on this Marjorie, I think the colour is about right, I couldn't get mine this deep, you should be really pleased with this result 😀

Wow that looks brilliant Marjorie, I think your red is super. I'm still working on mine and finding it tricky!

I think it's spot on, that gorgeous dark red, the leaves are ablaze too

Thanks everyone for the comments - loved using the pastels again - Unison are beautiful to use, made in my home county of course ( no, I don't get a fee for praising them, ha ha ). Did go to see them being made, handrolled, fascinating.

It looks a pretty good match of red to me Marjorie. You’ve used some excellent colours and marks, love that seedhead reflecting the light. Huge tick from me ✔️

I saw Fiona's poppy on the forum and thought I'd give it a try, unfortunately I made a right dogs dinner of it unlike you, this is lovely.

Oh no Val - I bet it's not. Was it watercolour?
