My first "real" watercolor...

It's been a lot of fun playing with this medium. It took some getting used to it drying so fast compared to oils however other than that I feel it is worthwhile to explore it some more. So I decided to paint a flower. I did a blue and yellow underpainting and layered the other colors on top to build up the color. I never thought I would enjoy flat brushes so much (I prefer filbert). Also, who knew that textures would be so easily achievable with such a volatile medium? There was a yellow and red flower in the background however it was becoming more prominent than the purple one so I tried to brush it out with the green-blue background. I like it.
