What is that lovely white?

Dear Bill,

That white gown is as lovely as anything in this exquisite painting. I am admiring this as I try to paint similar cascading white fabric (with questionable success). Now this is white functioning as a color! Is this painted with Flake white, or more with Titanium? It appears as a richer, more glowing white than what comes out of the tube. Have you warmed it up in the highlights and compressed the lightest tints so they are slightly diminished from pure white? It's hard to be sure from the small post images. This is so beautiful and inspiring.

Thanks Bill and Kim for sharing this!

Garth
