Blueberry Study in Coloured Pencil

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

This month for coloured pencil we are also starting a study project but of Blueberries.

We will follow the growth cycle of the plant and add to the page as the berries develop and ripen.

We also have a new monthly fact file document on the subject we are painting. I hope you enjoy the fact files and find them useful if you want to plant your own specimens.
