In my opinion, it is very difficult to paint a white flower. You have done a great job of it.

I agree, white flowers are hard. Lovely negative painting really brings those petals forward!

Thanks Balaji and Kay.

I actually like doing white flowers because I love to do the subtle shadows and hints of color on the petals. The challenge of course is the negative painting around the flower. I bought a new brush a few months ago that really helps with that. It's a Princeton Aqua Elite Long Round, size 8. It comes to a very sharp point and can be used on its side for larger areas.

Beautiful! Thanks for the tip about the brush. It’s so nice when a brush hold its point.
