Sunday Sunflower


7.5x5 watercolor drawn in pencil on Moleskine for watercolor sketchbook yesterday, then positively painted leaving the background showing the underpainting...just a different way of working that I often forget to do.

 Underpainting with Prussian blue, quinacridone gold, and permanent rose transparent watercolors.
