Negative Leaves in Watercolor

Painting by Vicky Christensen, watercolor on Arches 140 lb. cold press, 12 X 16 inches

I had so much fun doing yesterday's painting that I wanted to do something in the same vein, this time in watercolor. The underpainting was like being a kid again -- get the paper wet, slop and splatter on color, spray it with some more water and watch the colors run. I wish I had taken a photograph before painting over it.
