The green petals were quite simple, whereas the black lips were the real challenge! And I am afraid I can't capture its intricacy well in the real life size illustration :p

[ORCHIDS] Study sketch of Coelogyne pandurata
A few days before I delivered baby Nawang, I made a colour test of
the black orchids (Coelogyne pandurata) from Borneo, whose flowers
blossomed less than 5 days. It has no flower anymore but the colour test
will help me to paint the illustration later. I already made the sketch
while it bloomed and took some photographs of it.
