Brusho Poinsettias

12x9 Brusho watercolor crystals on Bristol board 300 series/100 lb. completed today.  I am still learning how to use the crystals and this time after doing a colored pencil sketch in red and green and sprinkling them, I put several hues into a flat palette and added water.  This made a stronger solid color.  Look closely and you can see some of the crystals spots.  I used 4 or 5 different reds plus Vermilion; it is SOLD.
