I give you an A for patience, and the results are wonderful. Don't compare your water colors to anyone else.

You really took Stacy's words to heart and listed all that you have learned from the WCWs. Brava! Lovely watercoloring of the mistletoe cluster. Like how you framed it too.

Thanks for sharing your learning experiences with us. We all can relate, and this is why I enjoy this challenge. Your original painting of the mistletoe is beautiful. Thanks for coming and joining us weekly. I sure love seeing your work. Maybe you can go back and put your signature on it. Hugs

I am in agreement with you on your list of things you learned. Patience is hard when watercoloring and letting things dry. You did a super mistletoe and bow. And, I have certainly tried some things I didn't know if I would get anything decent to post. LOL Awesome card.

Patience in letting a layer DRY before adding more color is THE hardest!!! Looks like you took all your "what I learned" things to heart because you have a lovely painting of mistletoe to show for it. I'm with you white may be the standard but the red berries really add pizzazz.

Way to go with this beautiful piece. It was interesting to read your list of what you have learned, and yes I totally agree, patience is key! And I agree with Linda, signing your piece will give you a great deal of satisfaction, so go for it!

I love the darker leaves and that fun framing. Beautifully done. I agree - painting when you are tired is a tough one! Hugz
