Continuing Watercolor (May/June 2013)

I added more dark in the background and glazed a little more with yellow.  I worked on more of the flowers and petals.  I corrected some edges (with gouache or scrubbing or a dark color).

3 views of the water drop.  Look at the top one and the running water to the left - try that too!

The start of painting the water drop.  It's all about values - pay attention to the lights and darks.  I started with a light green all over, added a dark on the top of the drop and a dark as a shadow outside on the bottom.  I then used gouache to add highlights.  I need to do a few more adjustments to the values (darks darker and whites whiter...) and add context (some of the leaf textures) and it can be done.
