WHITE GLADIOLA IN PASTEL





Penny brought these lovely gladiola to one of our recent ladies group meetings, as we had planned to practice working with white flowers together. As you can see above, I demonstrated that white flowers are anything but WHITE!!


Here is an earlier stage before adding warm tones to the background, which made it come alive.


I enjoyed working in pastel again after so long.

The difference the background makes is amazing. Good job!

Such a useful exercise as you later proved with the Chinese Vase painting.
