“Perfect Pick” is a painting in watercolor and pen. I used a limited palette for the colors, and a wet on wet technique, and then I put the simple line drawing over it. I want my audience to notice the many loose layers of colors in different shades. I made the background gray to intensify the bouquet colors. The most successful part of my work was when I added the pen over the watercolor, it brought it all together.

The way the colors, so muted, appear to bleed out is in such lovely contrast to the hard lines of the drawing itself. There's a specific emotion this piece makes me feel, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
