This is a much larger painting than I have been working on.  I chose the subject matter because of the colors and the tissue paper surrounding the ornaments.  I found that I needed to gray down the values in the paper to get it to read as white.  I think that I may have been able to go a bit darker.  I have never worked to any extent with cloth or folded paper and this presented many challenges.  I painted each section of the painting and finished a section before moving on the next section.  Was this the wisest way to work?  Perhaps and then again perhaps not....I need to think more about it.  Fun painting to do!

I love this one. The contrast of the white paper wrapping some of the bowls, cutting of some of the colors and shapes. Lovely, one of my favorites so far.

What a nice job you did. It reads perfectly, the ornaments just shine. Working larger is a very nice change......sometimes it just feels more free.

A fun painting and beautiful too . Surely not easy with all the paper and the creases, but it came out great and the whites are perfect !
