I am working on a 12 in x 12 in painting of dried white roses. Painting dried roses is a useful exercise There are many form changes which shift the values only slightly and because they are dried there is no rush to finish like there would be if the flowers were alive. In addition, the subtle warm green hues shift towards red/brown which brings an interesting element to the color. Practice here can be transferred to live flowers where form rendering speed should be increased from practice with dried flowers. That's the hope anyway.
