It was a lot of fun to just cut loose and not be so worried about the outcome. They are technically supposed to be flowers, but I felt myself naturally gravitating towards sea life... so I went with it. I do have to admit, however, that after I added the pen lines (as you can see in the background of the first image), I thought that the thick, dark lines took away from the color of the watercolors. So I ended up painting thin gesso over the background lines, which muted them without fully taking them away. I much preferred this effect. What do you think?

Yes, I like the gesso effect, it makes the colours really pop.
I love it! It's beautiful!
The sea flowers pop right out with the muted background. So glad you stopped by. Missing you. I don't have a thought in my head to blog about.
Very cool. I like the finishes version best too!
I love it both ways. The flowers look great!
Love your doodles
Love it! Actually, I love it both ways :)
