Four Attempts at Catching Camellia Colors.

On a day full of running errands, I stopped by my friend's place for a hug and a cup of chai. We ended up cutting a couple of branches from her camellia bush to sketch and then I took them home - they were my sketching companions for quite a bit.  

What an amazingly layered flower - the structure of petals reminded me of tightly packed cones of the blue cedar tree and I definitely need to go back to these and try and figure out the color - even though I enjoyed mixing all of these none matches the slightly-transparent glowing orange hue of the camelia pink flowers.
