Taking A Digital To Water

OK, so BLUESPADE gave me permission to use his digital flower see here as a basis for a watercolor....


I'm sitting here on a Friday night, listening to Bocelli sing La Boheme, trying to paint it....feel stuck


thinking I went too diverse too fast....what say you?


watercolor on Arches 140...about 11 x 15
thanks

Hey Pam...
Looks good to me so far. Nice darks...
Too diverse? Not sure what that means...
I like it as it goes...
Nothing ventured, nothing gained...
Best wishes,
Ray

Pam. in answer to your question............. possibly ............ are you sure you weren't listening to Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat .............. but I DO like the transparency and freshness of the colour ( even though I feel fewer of them would benefit it)

Pam, If you do not get in a painting mood listening to Bocelli - leave it for another day. Sometimes my loosening up excercise is Bocelli and a glass of Valpolicella [ have to keep it to one glass or all of a sudden I am creating abstracts].
Are you sure you were not listening to " Somewhere over the Rainbow?" Way to use the whole palette. Sure does not look digital.

Pam, I love it! Of course you probably know by now I'm a color nut! My favorite Bocelli CD is "Sagno", he has the most beautiful voice. This CD has "The Prayer" (with Celine Dion)..........They are terrific together.

Best,
Kathy

I love all the color and how you brought them together so nicely! The top flower could have used a petal dropping across its face too...just so it would look a bit more relaxed...but that's a personal thing. I'm sure it will do really well on ebay! What's your seller name? I'll look it up.
