Honesty Seed Pods in Coloured Pencil - Part 1

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

We have a beautiful addition to our 'Build as You Go' composition this month. Honesty Seed pods add colour and interest to any arrangement, and they are especially interesting to draw.

You don't have to have done the whole project to give these a go, you can do them on their own just like all the other subjects in this project.

At the end of part 2 we will also be finishing off the Dahlia stem.

Happy drawing!
