Impressions of Roses

14x11 watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140 lb cold press paper done today after a quick pencil contour drawing.  I put in darks first as I usually do beginning with quinacridone magenta in the top rose, then permanent rose, wetting areas here and there.  Some dry edges were left and some lost edges remain in this impressionist painting bouquet.
