A simple one layer panel for today's F4A (yellow as the main color) and today's MIX (add another medium on top of a medium).
I follow a watercolor artist called Marena and she did a panel like this recently, so I gave it a go. Loose, not too mixed watercolors in yellows, oranges, pinks and a little teal. Much splattering with more colors, mostly metallics, and added a little salt before it was dry. Hard to see that because the colors are light, but it does add some texture. I might have added the salt a little late, it shouldn't be added when the paint is too wet, hard to time.
I used some new to me stamps, intended to heat emboss with clear but liked it matte. Used some chalk pastel pencils for the first time....LOVE THEM! I think I like them better than polychromos, more subtle. Also added some shading with a graphite pencil and tortillon. Added a few dots of green Stickles. The name of the stamp set is Comfort Zone...we all live in one, occasionally breaking out. Thanks for the challenges!

Really a beautiful creation! The speckles of other colors on your yellow panels is great and I love how you stamped those leaves (which are gorgeous) across the blank spaces. You really did this right!
