I took me as long to set up and think about what, how and why I wanted to paint than actually painting. Lot's of layering here and since I don't use a hair dryer and always let it dry really well there's a lot of down time. As I look at it now I think I might soften the little leaf that's pointing straight north. It's always gentler to to have directional shapes neither completely verticle or horizontal.. Well, for me anyway. "Grandma's Cup" 4x3 inches, watercolor on board
