Turns out that using a thin layer of flour works better than a thick layer &#8211; which was more like trudging through snow than drawing. After drawing the pears I used a very small sieve to carefully add more flour to heighten their whiteness and depth. Last thing &#8211; adding dried rosemary leaves.<\/p>\n<p>When I liked a drawing I&#8217;d take a photo, scrape off the flour and start again.
