Don't know whether you've all given up on hearing any more from me. I hope not. Well I've finished my teaching for the year apart from a demo I am doing for Retford art society tomorrow evening.
And so I will have time again to post some tips on this blog. I will start with painting shadows on white flowers. A very nice person left a comment for me asking me to talk about how to paint the narcissi flowers from the demo on negative painting last January. I said I would when I found the time.
These are the sorts of shadows I mean in the pic below.
I'll cover the colours we need and the mixing and how to apply the shadows in the next few days, so keep a look out!
By the way the backlit orchids above are from my new book "Ready to Paint Orchids in Watercolour" published by Search Press and available from Amazon in January 2013.

And here's another example of similar shadows. They're created when the flowers are backlit.
