During my previous post I tried to paint a tablecloth and realized that it is not easy, so I tried to experiment a bit with painting cloth. My “model” was a checked napkin (presented below). I tried to capture shadows and the weaving of the pattern as the material rises and falls. I used purple for the shadows. I think I achieved the sense of realism that I was looking for at the start.
