Cotoneaster in Coloured Pencil Part 1

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

The next addition to our composition is a sweet branch of Cotoneaster.

In part one we will work above the Dahlia and in part two we will continue underneath the flower.

There are lots of little leaves to your teeth into and an interesting branch texture.

Take a look at the composition picture to see how I have placed the stem.
