This started out as a very simple watercolor, really just splotches. In fact it looked like a 1st graders depiction of flowers. I did it in a hurry about 2 weeks ago and left in on my work table in case I was desperate. Yesterday, I realize I had 7 cards to make in 3 days so I was desperate! It orginally was just the watercolored flowers and vase against the white index cards so I watercolored around the whole composition and that helped but it was still simplistic. I added a little more depth and dimesion to the flowers and vase by adding darker shades of watercolors to them.
It still wasn't quite right so I picked up my Pitt artist pen....again! I am officially addicted to black line work now. Nothing feels finished or right unless I go around it with that pen. I'm going to need a 12 step program to help me put down that pen. But for now it helped me get this card looking presentable. And in that whole process I found the beauty in this card and created something I like.
