IS it too Bold?? I was looking at the yellow and deep orange leaves in the front yard. and Poof.. there it goes. It was on the paper. I also tried out a Mop Brush. Haven't used one before. I wet the background then put the color on. First wash was the first one you see,but as that dried it looked flat.. so I put another wash/glaze with the bold colors, then punched up the owl with a few dashes of black and the quinacrodone burnt orange. Now I could go all black,if it is too bold which would tone it down. I'm going to prop it up and look at it. I may grey the face a little more.Sip some coffee then I'll see. Talk to you soon. Diana
It really is beautiful. It was nice to see the progression from drawing to finished watercolor painting. Thanks for sharing =)
