One advantage of using watercolors is that the value of a color can be changed by using more /less water. Olive is a yellow-green hue and watercolors give one a wonderful range of values. The berries were added with Nuvo drops.

How lovely, Sallie! At first glance I thought oooh I don't think I have that beautiful stamp but upon reading your description I definitely don't have that stamp because your painted image is all your own design. Your watercoloring is just amazing! Love the red berries and all the gold - so elegant.

Beautiful shades of olive achieved on your greenery, Sallie. The nuvo drop berries and golden JOY are definite highlights that enhance the bg of this Beauty! Love it~
