Red Carnation in Coloured Pencil

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

Here is the second subject in our 'Build as you go" composition.

The vibrant red compliments our pink Rose nicely and is great tall slim stem to sit at the back of the composition. That being said, don't be afraid to position yours wherever you see fit.

I am really looking forward to seeing these compositions start to build.
