This is a smaller watercolor painting I did of a flower close up. I outline the flower carefully with pencil and then go on to wet the entire paper with clean water. Then I put on a lingt watercolor wash for the background making sure the hightlights are saved by not putting too much watercolor pigment into it. When the watercolor paper is still wet, I hold the paper at various angle to let the watercolor mix itself on the paper. This will create a different color mix you get from mixing the color in the palette. The painting is left to dry before more layers of watercolor is being applied to outline the background.
