Continuing Watercolor (January and February 2014)

I darkened the top water to pop the swan forward and add contrast, added some shadows/darks to the leaves, I added shadows/darks and details to the swan, I added some dark to the water below the swan, I added orange (alizarin and aureolin) and black (pthalo green and alizarin) to the beak.  I did a little scrubbing.

I added details and darks to the cat.  I added texture to the fur and the cats face (not complete yet).

This is the new project transferred and with masking fluid.  I added masking fluid in order to keep the white areas in the water so it will retain it's 'sparkly' appearance.
