After painting many more layers of gradated watercolor wash for the background I think I have completed this Orchid watercolor painting. This is a 15 x 22 inches watercolor and after the last layer of background is dried, I carelfuul did an outline around the orchid to give it a neat and sharp border. Some watercolor paint areas of the orchid has been scrub away to review a lighter color so it has a bigger contrast towards the black background. The leaves behind the orchid was also given more layers of watercolor wash to get it in a darker shade. Finally yellow watercolor was painted on the tip of the orchid for accent.
