3rd in series A purple Clematis

Sometimes when I start a new watercolor, I'm not sure if I can read the flower enough to pick out the small details...this was one of those flowers. The leaves had these raised bumps, which I found frustrating to paint. Also the flower itself took over 10 glazes of color, but eventually I figured out how to show all the detail and am quite pleased the way this turned out.
