Tonal Values Study


Studio Atelier (link) has posted great image for March challenge. How to draw white on white on almost white? Difficult. But so interesting.
We had 3 days holidays, I painted, but this hunger is hard to feed up...

These fantastic guys helped me during the painting, please enjoy!
I love music, I never managed to listen to music and do work at the same time. The combination works only with painting.


And thank you so much for your kindest comments, you give me energy and power to go on. Thank you!

  1. Painting or drawing is all about shadows and that is the only way I can paint anything or draw anything. I will have to show you soon how used to teach drawing.

    Your watercolor is very good. You chose a most difficult subject.

  2. You did a terrific job on this subject. I haven't done this challenge because I don't even know where to start! You did the shadows & light perfectly, love the curtain behind & all the color you added. The strawberries look good enough to eat!

  4. Esta acuarela llama mucho mi atención, las fresas en el vaso, la bolsita de infusión, los detalles de esa taza. Precioso Irina. Un saludo

    This watercolor called my attention, strawberries in the glass, the infusion bag, the details of that cup. Beautiful Irina. Greetings

  9. Beautiful job, Irina! I think, if it were mine, I'd add a string to the teabag to show it more easily (at first I saw a tilted white vase or cup of some kind). Beautiful colors and the strawberries in the glass are so well done.
