I tried with this one. Really, I did, but unfortunately a combination of not using a chunky enough sponge and my impatience led to the paint blending together in a way that makes it look like the trees are melting together. When I did get to adding the leaves, the paint had already tried and since I have already established that watercolor paint is very translucent in nature (especially when mixed with a lot of water), that meant that you can see the clumsy brushstrokes. Luckily, my technique has improved with practice and thus I created a bookmark that uses the same basic design that is hopefully more pleasant to look at:
Until next time,
