I have been wanting to do value studies in a monochrome way for a while and this 30 in 30 challenge has inspired to actually do it. The top one is a bunch of Oriental Lillys that I am going to paint or sketch while they are in this state up until they bloom. The second one is a set of those 'market flowers' that have the subtle pinks and are usually part of a bouquet. The last one is looking down at a carnation. Hope you enjoy.
I love these flowers. I spent some time on the background and it adds some dimension that is difficult to see in this photo. Forgot to take a photo before putting it in its frame.
