Flower

i like the shading technique, very neat well done...chris

Complete admiration for your pencil work. I want to stare at it. So very well done Nora. Jeannette

Love the detail and the unfinished page makes it stand out beautifully

I agree with what everyone else has said. Very, very lovely and the space does add to it.

What can I say that hasn't already been said! This is an exceptional pencil drawing from a very talented lady.

Very nice pencil work.

Thank you everybody so very much! I greatly enjoyed drawing this flower.

Thank you so much for your comment! This is a great piece :D

Agree a great piece of work

I have come back to answer you and end up wandering round your beautiful gallery of work. I used Conte a Paris soft pastels and Faber Castel Polychromo pastels - they are a little harder than unison but they do not crumble and are easy to use - I just scraped them on a bit of sandpaper to get them going. Talking of sandpaper. I am doing the E workshop mixed media Calf. I think it is the colourfix paper which is like sandpaper. I have taken the skin off my finger with the blending! I tried using the putty rubber to blend - didn't like it. Put a plaster on my finger - that was OK it was when I came to the dark pastel, it was on the plaster - I was putting black all over my nicely lightened up areas! I do use a baby wipe while I am working with pastel - keep wiping my hands - keeps the pastels clean. Didn't work with the plaster though!! Have to use another finger LIGHTLY.

I agree with all the other comments: this is a beautiful drawing. I like the pencilwork and also that it is just on one half of the paper. In my opinion this is the best way to accentuate the shape of it. Congratulations!!!
