Just a little experiment with Kremer watercolours. Tried a light wash (raw sienna and irgazine red) over the whole page except the flowers, and then a dark wash (quindo rosa d and pthalo green) over the background, leaving the lighter wash on the plant.
Today was not a good drawing day, and I guess this was an attempt to make something out of a rather dull drawing. I´ve often discovered that drawings that you don´t like tend to shape up if you just don´t give up on them too early. Or, if the drawing doesn´t get better from your hard work, at least you often learn something in the end. For example that quindo rosa d and pthalo green make a pretty interesting grey. :)

Thanks for writing about which colors you mix - I always find the how-to's interesting to read. I quite like the painting too!
Well done for keeping at it, the results are quite beautiful!
This is a very pretty painting! And I like your thoughts on sticking with something long enough to either turn it around or learn something useful. I also like your building from yesterday.
Very effective painting; I love the quality of the dark wash especially.
Thisis so great Nina! Your playing around produced some beautiful effects!

Just wanted to say I just got done viewing all your drawings for May so far. Wonderful and I commend you for this effort.
Not sure i would last but would like to give it a go sometime.
I totally agree. So many times I'll think one of my drawings is horrible - but if I keep going it will end up being one of my favorites.
just stunning Nina.
