Orchid Flower Tests

Here are the first color tests I did. The leaves are not too bad, but its still hard to hold the brush correctly. The more I did, the more comfortable I felt. The stems were tough as well. the next day I had better luck when I added the black leaves and actually got one to look pretty good. Then I hit a dry spell. Got too busy and the set spent a week closed and I seem to have forgotten everything. You can see that the more you practice — which can be so boring and monotonous — the better you get.
