Brent, this is beautiful and I love your chosen colors on this. Your background is a lovely addition. I hope I find time to day to give this watercolor technique a try.

Look at this amazing transparent flower! I love the colors you used. I love that the background looks like pounced ink with a sponge! It's absolutely stunning what you can do!

Adding my admiration here for your artistic yet technical skills. This flower is so lovely as is the bg you created. Love the translucency of the bloom and the texture surrounding it. Beautiful.

Nicely done. Brent - You did capture the translucency in the individual petals and the heavier color saturation where they overlapped. Super card for the challenge.
