12x9 watercolor over ink line (Micron 01 pen) on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper in mixed media journal done over the past weekend. Deciding on a warm color scheme I used the following exercise where you choose a color then paint three shapes with it of small, medium, and large using the paint color only once. Mix some together if you have to and you can use 1-2 cool accents. I did not include any patterning using a gold felt tip marker (for warm themed work, silver for cool) but might add later. There were more yellows, golds, oranges and reds in the paint drawer than I thought I had. Inspiration photo and initial ink sketch are below.

This is amazing and beautiful. Intricate.
I took a day off and you have 4 posts! I like the llama. The cat looks to be a handful. Nice work on the cyclamen. Pretty.
