A Pink Hibiscus

12x9 mixed media on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done yesterday for August Watermedia challenge on WetCanvas.  Ref courtesy of Deborah.  The backside has abstract acrylic and alcohol ink marks hence the colored areas seen on the front that watercolor can't cover up.  White gouache, watercolor, and Caran D'Ache watersoluble colored pencils used over the Magic colored pencils sketch.  I held two Magic (multi-lead) pencils together while sketching for a looser look.
