Mix media flowers

This is my first mix media painting.  I started with a couple of stencils and sprayed on Tulip fabric paint onto watercolor paper.  I let that dry for about an hour.  Then I went back in with gesso.  After the gesso dried I started to drop in watercolor.  I didn't like how the watercolor looked so I decided to sketch in flowers with my black sharpie.  I then applied more watercolor to each flower to give it more definition.  When the watercolor dried I used my black sharpie to mark in more detail.  I can say that this was a fun painting to work on, which I did off/on most of the day.
