Peonies on Bone China


I have just finished painting this 10" bone china
plate with peonies.(It is a delight to paint on bone china) .


I have tried to get "dark darks" with a good contrast of colour. I have always been a very
soft painter, and it is a challenge for me to get
more colour on the plate with more contrast and
values.


There is raised paste around the edge of the plate, which has been covered with gold and then painted with tan paint and textured with gladwrap.
