Paperwhites



It was great to be able to have some time to paint after the last few busy weeks.

These paperwhites almost literally grew in front of my eyes. I started to paint them against a white backround, but it wasn't working quite the way I had planned. I ended up painting Quinacridone Gold and Quinacridone Red in layers, adding Cerulean Blue at the end. I quite liked the contrast of the white petals against the rich colours.
