6.5x11 watercolor and pink/crimson Brusho crystals done today on 140 lb cold press Langton paper. Yesterday I started it by spritzing water over dry paper at random then applying two new colors, Holbein's Bright Pink and Opera over wet areas. Then Brusho was sprinkled over that and again water spritzed over the scattered crystals. I used canned air to blow the wet pigment for an abstract background. When dry today I began isolating white and pink shapes reminiscent of roses and negatively painted those and green leaves and stems. Quinacridone violet and alizarin crimson are the shadowed areas using a #1 script liner brush.
