Painting white objects

Here is the plan for my "white on white" painting. It looked simple enough. I just needed to pay attention to the detail of the values and the reflected colors.

Here is how it ended up. Yuck.

I am going to keep working on this. I actually went back into this painting while it was still wet to fix the ridge on the large jar at the back. That helped a lot. So probably the devil is in the details on this painting. It may not be as far off as it looks.
