Painting Transparency

" Roses and Glass"  Pastel  8 x 10 © Donna Gross
While the composition is not my best work, I did feel somewhat satisfied with rendering transparency in the glass pitcher... 
This piece was done on a canvas board prepared with an acrylic ink underpainting followed by a layer of gesso.. The texture of the canvas board was challenging to achieve the soft edges of the plant material inside the glassware... I may try this subject again on smoother paper... but for today I am done with this effort!
