Sunflower Mosaic - demo for WetCanvas!
This is watercolor collage on matboard, 20 x 9.25 inches, drawn with colored pencil done today as a WetCanvas demo. I used slick toilet seat cover torn in pieces and applied with Liquitex matte medium, let dry overnight, then drew my flowers with the CP. Paints used were American Journey Midnight Blue, Prussian (DaVinci), Arylide (DV), Copper Kettle, Harvest Gold, Skip's Green, Mint Julep, Gamboge, Taylor's Flamingo Pink, Halloween Orange (AJ), Grumbacher Red, and quinacridone magenta.

Hey Kay! Maybe it's me, but I wasn't able to connect to WetCanvas from your link! Your projects looks like a lot of fun!
Very nice watercolor, I love the strength of the colors you use. Bye!
That is odd! Sorry.
