Blossom Drift is spring on the branch. The magenta band goes up so pink stays pink instead of drifting to salmon; the blue behind it is paled so the sky reads as paper; green is cut so the first leaves stay behind the flowers. Petal Drift eases contrast and lifts the blacks for petals coming down in still air. White Petal keeps white flowers white. Blush Sky is the one for a pale sky. Late Blossom adds a little haze for the last week.
Cut Flowers is the vase. Exposure up, contrast eased, blacks lifted, so the arrangement sits in soft, even light on a bright table. Petal Fold keeps the surface velvet rather than papery. Peony Head lets a bloom glow against a pale ground. Stem Water and Glass Vase roll the highlights off the glass so it reads by its edges. Sprig Green and Cut Stem take the foliage down so it supports the flowers instead of competing.
The sheet is set in four rows: on the tree, the light, the bloom, the vase and the table. Colour named precisely, then let be.
