Drawing 8 in group 1: Fern leaf

Group 2 of 5 more time consuming drawings:

Drawing 1 in group 2: Birchwood forest with grassy floor

Drawing 2 in group 2: Hydrangea bush – I liked drawing the single flower, so I decided to draw a seperate, larger bush

Drawing 3 in group 2: Look down on a Lake Erie dock with rocky shores
