Can't argue with bold, and I really like how you distributed the orange through other areas of the petals. I never heard of those pencils, think I'm picking up on the flakes. I've used flakes of acrylic many times for effect. You just reminded me of someone I forgot about, check out her florals: http://www.miramwhite.com/flower/index2.html
Nick, this painting glows from a distance, but the computer doesn't do it justice. I've used watercolor pencil flakes (using rough sandpaper or sharp knife) dropped onto wet paper with the same effect, but the Derwent pencils you can paint over them again without too much damage. Love Mira's flowers! thanks

Hi,
Very pleasant depiction of light.
I like its hues and respective chromas.
Kind regards,
