Your blooms and stems are beautiful and the sketch challenge looks great with the big bloom and the one under showcased.

Beautiful watercoloring Ann.
The frame adds a touch of elegance to highlight the
subtle shading in your blooms and leaves.

Your loose watercolor flowers are so graceful and full of life—I love how the open composition lets the sketch challenge shine through, and the variation in bloom size adds lovely visual balance. The subtle shading on the petals and the fluid lines of the stems give it all such a natural, organic feel. A beautiful blend of artistry and playfulness!
