Beautiful drawing. It gives a very romantic feeling. Love is in the air. The vase looks glass- like. I love the red trim on the roses, excellent choice of colors

This is a lovely entry into the contest. This art piece is cleverly displayed as to accentuate the color red for the contest; and the red vase finishes it off well. Good luck..

Hi, very good soft pastel here. I like the coloured glass vars, the texture of the background and the "Roses and pearls". A very good entry into The colour red contest. Good luck in the contest and thanks for sharing :-)

This still-life artwork in pastel captures its unique character and personality.
The use of colours and shading is masterful, creating a sense of depth and dimension that's truly captivating. Well done. I regret I have run out of a SIX, which this richly deserves. Good luck!

This is so lovely. The red-edged roses are so unique. I like how you've painted that red-vase, too. This painting has well-defined details especially the veins of the leaves and the layers of petals. The plain background added enhancement to the subject. Well composed and well-framed in the portrait orientation. You have painted this well and this is a good entry.

Initial Impact: Nice, Beautiful and fitting for the Color Red Contest.

Creativity: From the shape of the vase to the arrangement of the flowers I find this to be very creative.

Harmony: Absolutely! The Red tipped roses supplement and harmonize with the vase, creating a nice visual flow of color.

Center of Interest: Centered perfectly in the frame, with a soft neutral bokeh - the floral arrangement is given nice depth and contrast achieving a dynamic presentation.

Tech Excellence: Yep - this piece exudes craftsman ship.

Story Telling: Yes, this pastel leaves the viewer wondering if this gorgeous arrangement was for an anniversary. Or some other celebratory event.

Lighting: Both highlights and lowlights have been effectively applied and create wonderful depth and contrast.
