Orchids

ORCHIDS
3.5" x 4.5"
pastel
Pastel on Sennelier Pastel Card with hard and soft pastels.  Reference was cropped from photo I took in Selby Gardens Greenhouse, Sarasota.  My inspiration was the sunlight spilling across orchids and leaves in the background.  Process was the same as the Rose demo from yesterday.  Used a lot of pastel pencils for detail and blending.  Even allowed myself a paper stump once in a while.  Some colors were exaggerated for dramatic effect.
