It’s mid way and the drawing of the White Dead Nettle flower is more or less compete. The leaves are deeply veined but this is not a “botanical” drawing so I don’t feel the need to draw every one of them, just give an impression of their complexity.
It’s a time to assess the weight of various areas. The black bee and the two bugs are the main focus but I need some more weight at the top left. I am going to add some straight lines for an indication of the strange silver birch trees that form the background to Holme Fen and will add the distant bird hide which you can see when you look towards the wood from the info centre where the white dead nettles grow. maybe even a Highland cow.
