I did the leaves the same way, for the background I wet the paper and just dropped in different colors. Thank you for liking this.norapaints@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01621093267361325947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905152051300146093.post-74983998623150732562010-07-12T03:41:52.436-07:002010-07-12T03:41:52.436-07:00Nora, you just have such gorgeous control of those...Nora, you just have such gorgeous control of those watercolors!
