The vividness of the colors in this piece to me were really breathtaking. I loved the way the reds played against the greens. The center focus was what I like to call “fingers” in the center of the flower. They appear to reach out and demand to grab you. This petals have alot of motion. I like to use a combination of Rembrandt pastel sticks and CarbOthello pastel pencils, with very vivid colors with some contrasting tones to capture this beauty.
