bleeding heart II

I sacrificed a stem of my bleeding heart, and did a closer study of it. I plan to use WC pencils on this piece. I am started Cathy Johnsons WC pencil class on Monday, so I am looking forward to that, and learning all the in's on out's of this medium, so please stop by to see how I am doing...

bleeding heart

I took a bench out to the garden and tried to sketch parts of my bleeding heart...and really when you sit and study something and sketch it, you *know* more about it, I basically knew what a bleeding heart looked like...I thought, until I sketched it. This is just a quick study, I plan to go back and capture more of it, and then do it in color.
