Wildflower meadow

Water & brush control3/5

The flower heads are controlled wet-in-wet.

Values2/5

Everything is mid-value: no dark greens at the base or where stems overlap.

Colour mixing2/5

Bright, clean flowers, but every stem and leaf is the same green.

Edges3/5

Soft blooms in the blue flowers and crisp petal edges on the poppy.

Drawing & shape3/5

Varied flower types read clearly. The stems are all straight up.

Composition2/5

Joyful but evenly spaced: same heights, little overlap, no focal flower.

Scores are 1–5: 1 not yet, 2 emerging, 3 developing, 4 controlled, 5 expressive.
