One of the members posted pictures of her mother's dogwood that is in full bloom. She took several pictures and posted them for us to draw this week. It was a great study in value and negative spaces. I am really pleased with the results, I did it with mechanical pencil in my sketchbook. Where I live we can not grow dogwoods so I envy those who can. I have tried several times, I order them from a catalog and this tiny little twig arrives. I spend the next few months babying this thing in hopes it will grow, but I haven't managed to get one to survive a full season. Its just not a Southern California (desert) plant!

Love all the drawings on this page! Your use of pencil is wonderful and strong!
This is gorgeous pencil work!
Lovely dogwood. I love the shading.
Beautiful drawing of a beautiful tree.
Beautifully done! Dogwoods certainly wouldn't do well in the desert, even with watering. You'll just have to plan spring-time trips to the cool, humid mountains! :-)
