Flowers 'n' Fluff
The word of choice for this painting was fast. If you look closely you can tell how thick that white paint is piled on. That's one of the greatest challenges I face sometimes-- getting my whites to be white! Oil paint just mushes together and it is hard to get color definition sometimes. You can combat this with a few different methods. I am slightly lazy and when painting fast, just tend to apply more paint in a thick layer. But if you're not in a rush, there are tools or rags you can use to wipe away paint applied previously. This is helpful, but I rarely do this, I just take a break and let it dry. This took about 45 minutes.
