Carole's ArtFirst Watercolor

First watercolor, done using a lot of water and little color and letting the color bleed into the water.  I began with a pencil outline and then drew over that with a dry paint. This seemed to contain the colors within the leaf so that they didn't bleed out into the background and vice versa.  I then laid a heavy layer of water as I went along in the immediate area I wanted to fill with color.  Then I would take a touch of color and just dip it onto the watered paper and it moved as far as the water would allow, thus accounting for the varity of color intensity.  Lastly, after the color was all finished, I took a narrow brush and put dryer color on it and drew in the stem and a few lines on the leaf.  More and more I am learning to do more with paint brushes than I ever have before.
