pen and ink update

​While I was nibbing through my drawers of watercolor artwork I found a couple incomplete paintings that I thought could use a bit of pen and ink and additional watercolor.  

The photo below is what I started out with; my final project is to the right.  The image I used was a page torn from the 2009 April/May  issue of Birds & Blooms magazine.

The videos and photographs here were recorded as I finished this "long lost" painting.  As I painted I explained my process; which included watercolor glazes, wet-on-wet, mixing complimentary colors, and "book-ending".  ​

I set up the camera to take photos every few minutes as I finished up the final details of the painting.

I enjoy seeing the process of a painting come together and hope that you do as well.
