Another cardoon seedhead, gouache and tinted charcoal in a Stillman and Birn alpha sketchbook
Another quick cardoon. This one had shed all its scales, leaving just the fluffy 'fairies' that carry the seeds - one is next to it, so delicate against the large heavy seedhead - and the bristly dried flower petals.
More of the NEC doodles to come .....

Your drawing shows great use of the tinted charcoal. I love the colour range in these pencils.
they are a lovely range of subtle muted colours :>)
I do like these cardoon seedheads a lot. Such lovely form and colour in them, I can almost touch them.
