The bg was coated with the dark brown acrylic paint and the flower painted with reinkers and an aqua brush. There was no pink used...it is all shades of Real Red and water.

They say "practice makes perfect" and in your case, it is so true - your watercolouring just gets better and better! The shading on the flower is so realistic!

Sallie, your watercoloring is amazing. That is what I love about watercoloring, you can achieve so much depth from just one color. The dimension you achieved is wonderful. A beautiful work of art.

This is something I'd frame to look at every morning...it's lovely! I think the idea of painting with acrylic paint is amazing - one of these days I will enter the world of mixed media.
