This is the first time I have used this lilac color in a painting. I am happy with the various pinks and blues I used in it. I also think this is the most "fully & naturally rendered" piece of folded cloth I ever painted, which was my goal in this particular piece (usually I love stylized lines and fades). I find that the trick to achieving a natural look is not to "overblend" the intricacies of the folds.
