The dogwood painting is finally done. It was fun. The white flowers were a bit of a challenge with the dry brush watercolors, but in the end they came out just as I had wanted them. I used a lot of glazing layers in them to give them a soft glow. I changed the positioning of the sparrow slightly giving him a more natural perch from the original sketch.

I just finished up a sketch for a new dry brush watercolor. It is for a very special friend and it will have a tremendous amount a meaning in it for them when it is done. And I am honored to be able to do it for them.
The finished painting will be something a little different for me. I will be adding text into the negative space on the right side of the painting. There will be quiet a bit of it and it will all be hand lettered.
