I took the easy way out of the WT today and scored some straight lines. I like that thinking....curves and straight lines. I think I painted enough curves.
I always give watercoloring a 2 for difficulty, partly because of the time it takes. These were not hard by any means but there are a lot of layers of paint going on, constantly going back in and adding, moving things around. I used a water brush mostly, hadn't tried that in a while. The red/pink/orange one is the first one I did, tried Karin markers. One thing I struggle with these markers is that while I can get the color moving, there is still a much darker spot where I put the marker down at first. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. I had to work hard to make that blend in, adding darker colors. I loved the video and her combo of crimson, blue and brown for the stems. I put this project in the tags gallery since there wasn't a bookmark gallery.

I could not find the bookmark gallery either. I did try to put mine in the correct gallery. I will follow Sabrina's breadcrumb and put mine in there too. I think your bookmarks are stunning. I love how you combined challenges and added score lines! Gorgeous colors! I love the flow of your stems and the beautiful blooms. On the Karin Markers, I have seen Lydia, scribble them on a smooth surface first and then pick up the color with a paint brush.
