I've been wanting to try this all day and finally had time. As my title says this is my fourth try...watercoloring takes practice! I envy those who make it look easy..

I agree, Polly, it does take practice. This turned out great and is a beautiful card. Happy you stayed with it and played along today.

Such pretty colors and I like the way you offset the panel to reveal more green and it works in great balance with the loose florals.

Bravo Polly, for doing an original freehand work. These look like the tea roses my grandmother grew when I was a child. Love the gilded edges and offset framing.

Oh do I hear you. CeeCee makes it look easy but she has been doing this a while. I think to be a good painter, one needs good general artistic skill and a certain knack. I think your fourth try is lovely.

Polly your card is lovely and your title made me laugh as I’ve had 4 attempts and mine is nothing like it should be. I’m a plonker so this was very challenging for me. TFs. Happy day
