Hibiscus watercolor

This is a hibiscus flower growing in my backyard.  It was so pretty I wanted to capture it while it was still blooming.

 

To create this painting I sketched an outline with a H pencil.  Then I used my Stabilo 3 in 1 crayons to add color.  When the paint was dry I went back in with gouache to deepen the colors and finished off with a lattice stencil.
