But, for now, here goes. I've made the first picture extra large so you can see the start at the top of the table.
I began by applying the overall pale wash to dull down the white of the paper, then added the gold trim.
Then I added the flowers on the pots and finished the gold trim (some of which I had missed in the first application).

This is beautifully drawn! Where you have some pink reflections, the porcelain does look very shiny...I am sure that you find a way to pull it off very nicely.
Just had a wonderful few moments enjoying your last 3 posts. It was so interesting to find out more about your home town and life style and the photos so informative. I always think it must be rewarding to still live in the locality one was brought up in, but I am so gregarious I have made friends quickly wherever we have moved throughout England.
The daff still life is absolutely charming, beautifully applied washes and composition. As for 'blotchy' background I think it gives quiet texture to the main subjects and prefer it to a smooth wash.
Oh! yes and this latest post, love teapots and this china is so typically old fashioned English I cannot but love it to bits the way you are depicting it.
Thanks Christiane - one can hope!
Joan - I always enjoy your "travelog" posts - glad you enjoyed mine! I feel truly fortunate to live where I do, in the country but close to the city - best of both worlds! I'm considering all options on the still life background, cannot decide if I need to do more. The teapots are coming along! Thanks for your comments!
