Does the mitten have any folds? You can highlight them with a very light lavender wash or secondwind Dec 2019 #2

I have it propped against the wall, so there's very little folding, although now GreenPartyVoter Dec 2019 #4

But because you’re putting a white mitten against a white background it makes it harder to get the contrast you need. You can make the background into a faint color wash or you can look at your cup of tea and use shadows.
