I have painted the rest of the close up flower watercolor painting. All areas have at least one or more layers of watercolor wash. I started each area with painting the highlights with clean water and then add the watercolor pigments. Then I move the paper around to get the color mixing on the surface of the watercolor paper. I use 140 lb Arches watercolor paper. The next stage will be to paint the shadows and add more layers in areas where it is needed. This is the hard edge the watercolor painting need to bring out the three dimension of the close up flowers.
