Once you are happy with your line drawing, redraw, and apply the tone. Work from the centre outwards, once again making sure to leave lighter areas on each petal, as illustrated.

I repositioned the rose to observe it from a different angle. Applying the same technique and initially creating my box for measurement purposes, I proceeded with my tonal drawing. Again, I made separate studies of overlapping petals before proceeding.

Hollyhock

Hollyhocks are a lovely cottage garden plant. They are usually found in sunny borders, planted towards the back because of their height (they can grow to 2.4m (8ft)). When in bloom, they have wonderful large saucer-shaped flowers consisting of five petals. Some people find hollyhocks hard to grow and they can be susceptible to leaf mould, especially in wet weather. They thrive in stony, well-drained soil.

I cut a long stem from the main plant and placed it in a large container with some water. I wasn’t sure how long the flower would last once cut, but thankfully it kept its shape and lasted for a good 3–4 days.
