If I draw first and wash after, this would seal in the pencil lines, and I like to remove them as I go along.Yvonne Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00138131276780458571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2325590042531115740.post-64985345554072297262013-03-13T08:13:15.686+00:002013-03-13T08:13:15.686+00:00Thanks Lorraine, Yes Wisteria is a similar challen...Thanks Lorraine, Yes Wisteria is a similar challenge and I would tackle it in ta similar way as well. With regard to the leaves, I think I will darken them quite a bit maybe using my favourite Appatite Green, and then lift out areas to create the highlights. This process can be used very successfully with rose leaves etc.Yvonne Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00138131276780458571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2325590042531115740.post-3699885118566876442013-03-12T23:13:06.470+00:002013-03-12T23:13:06.470+00:00Hello, Yvonne.

I will study your photos, so that, hopefully, I can have another go at some hydrangeas I had started. It just got too tight, heavy and dark. Thank you again!!!
