Valentine Rose

6x6 watercolor and ink line wash on Masters paper using Micron 01 pen and Daniel Smith paints.  Drawn from life this afternoon in about 5 minutes using a dark red rose that was in my birthday bouquet, I quickly added several hues from pink to magenta to new gamboge to royal red blending all together.  Thanks to my friend Barb for the flowers!
