I started out using tube watercolors, but soon found I am not good at mixing colors and applying them, so I went back to using watercolor pencils. I like the watercolor pencils a lot, I'm glad I bought them.
Now on the some conte crayon drawings. I have never used conte crayons before so this should be interesting.

I like this graphically Randy. I think you are right it is a composition issue. If you took the same image and tried placing it on the diagonal, so that the flower doesn't cut the paper in half, I think it might have the grace that your iris' do.
I cut out some cardboard corners and tried different crops. It made a big difference. A simple crop can make a piece much more dramatic.
Marcs art on wetcanvas thought the background stripes didn't really work. I have to agree. I may go back and give a more even wash.
