Oil pastel lily pads

Painting water lily pads is a study in contrasts. The lily pads reflect a muted version of the sky's color overhead, while the water reflects the shadows of the trees as well as the sky. When sky-lit water lilies appear against a reflected shadow, there is a beautiful contrast of color and shape. Gentle ripples add interesting effects to play with as well.
