I would have been thrill with the result of this painting a month ago. But since then I have been aiming for a result that comes closer to a photorealistic painting. This one fell short. I will try it again but first I need to practice multi-layered petal flowers. Plus shadows on hot press paper are much harder for me to achieve than on cold press paper. The paper also pulled away from the pad so there is rippling. The paper is Fabriano Artistico extra white 140 lbs. (300 g/m) hot press12" x 18" (cropped to 12x16). I like the brighter white as compared to Arches creamy white.
