I have had this image colored for weeks nad was thrilled when I realized that it fit into today's CAS sketch!
I don't use watercolor crayons very often and I don't know why. I always bring them out for fall leaves and I love the look. The colors are quite rich - I simply drew a crayon line with various colors around the inside edge of the stamp. Then I used an aquabrush to apply water and move the pigment around. (There is a picture on my blog).
