12 Month Still Life with Cathy Pearce Exercise 3
Lesson 12 of 27
In Progress

Exercise 3

For the second part of this tutorial on flowers I have chosen these amazing multi headed miniature narcissus and again I shall concentrate on the flowers only to really study the characteristics of their petals and stems which are so different from the previous tulips.

In the video above I show you what makes Clairefontaine pastelmat paper one of my favourites for this subject. As it is also one of the most expensive pastel papers I recommend buying a single large sheet and cutting it into smaller pieces, it is much more economical than buying the pre cut packets. Use a small piece of approx A5 to have a play with your colours and marks before using for final work as you need to know how it behaves beforehand. Always test new papers in this way.

Watch the following video to inspire you to try out some bold daffodil marks.
