Per the how to watercolor video, I spattered tan, Olive and some kind of grayish blue over my card with a bit extra water to kind of blend some of it where I wanted the dragonfly to go. Set aside to dry (which doesn't take long in El Paso with almost non-existent humidity)
I use the No. 4 brush to paint in the body with a black / brown paint mix. Then with the 8 round painted in wings with a misty blue and dropped in a bit of purple while it was still damp. Added some details to the wings and body with the No.4 long round brush and some VERY watered down black paint. I like the more delicate lines I got on the right hand wings - the lines got a bit heavier on the upper 2 - not sure if that's because I had too much paint on the brush or just got heavy handed. At any rate - most recipients won't probably notice so I decided on this painting - ONE & Done . . .. I wanted to pull a bit more of the purple color into my card so framed with orchid cardstock and die cut a sentiment of the same color.
