I did not realized that I missed the pastel sticks so much.
It was double pleasure: straight and clear pastel colors (in comparison to watercolor which always has independent opinion how it should behave in my paintings)) and dark grey-green paper (I tried tinted paper for the first time and loved the effect).
Many many thanks to Jen and her "Rookiepainter challenge" for these pleasures and possibility to draw flowers.
Wow, beautiful drawing!
ReplyDeleteThe layout of the flowers against the dark back ground and the petal structures makes this painting very striking!
ReplyDelete¡Qué luz y que contraste mas estupendos has conseguido Irina! Y el fondo es genial. Un saludo
ReplyDeleteWhat contrasting light and you get more great Irina! And the background is great. A greeting
Lovely work. I think the dark paper works well with this mostly white flower :)

Hi Irina, what a beautiful work, i like very much the light and the strong contrast between the the flowers and the background. Well done!

Do you use chalk or oil pastel sticks? These are quite beautiful.
