Flower close up watercolor painting - 15 x 22 inches

I have started this flower close up watercolor painting on a sheet of 15 x 22 inches Arches watercolor paper.  First I use pencil to sketch in the outline of the flower close up.  Then watercolor paint was applied to areas in a wet in wet watercolor technique.  Clean water was put on the areas of the petal where the highlights are.  After it has been dried with the glossy sheen dissapear off the surface, color is applied.  A large watercolor brush is used in some of the larger areas.  Winsor violet is the major color used in this flower close up watercolor painting.
