Fabric and Roses
6x8"
oil
This weeks challenge was tough! Paint a white object and show the reflections. Painted Sunday and then wiped it out. Started over today. Learned a lot from my mistakes. Every painting, even if it's a wipeout is just practice for the next one. Wish I could paint faster.
Had this piece of fabric for years and never know what to do with it until now. It was a challenge to get it to work with the soft colored still life. But had fun painting the roses. Thanks to Carol Marine's suggestion ( a wonderful Dailypaintworks artist, find her in the link below)... just paint the general color first, then add the dark "bits" and then add the light "bits." I also squinted a lot to see the warm and cool colors, and values, too. This painting will be available when it dries. Please email me for details. Thanks!

This is just wonderful, Diane! Definitely one of my favorites so far :). I love the bright colors in the fabric, and the way you did the roses, etc.
