September Virtual Sketch

September Virtual Sketch

This is the second time that I have actually participated in this monthly event...it is so much fun. I almost missed out this month...forgotten all about it until the day before the event was over...phew. This is a beautiful tree peony. I tried to do "pure"watercolor, but was so hard with the paleness of the colors, that I had to resort to my all time favorite of pen and ink. Was a great and beautiful photograph to be challenged with. thank you.

This one is watercolor with just a teeny bit of ink in the center and around the dots on the sides. Any hints on how not to make everything so dark. I was basically happy with this, but once again lost some of the values!
