Description Finally finished! I tried a lot of new things for this one. For starters, most of the lines were inked in with a brush instead of a quill pen. It kept things smooth and really let the undertone of the colored inks show through. Also I tried to get over my fear of saturated cool colors, something my watercolor professor heckled me about for the better part of two semesters while I was taking his classes.

I have fallen in love with Brown Ochre (PY43, sold as "Goethite Brown Ochre" by Daniel Smith). It's semi-opaque and glazes beautifully over just about anything with a soft wet brush over a dry layer of paint. I wonder why I didn't try using it in flesh tones before.

Watercolor, ink, casein on Twinrocker 200 lb. CP watercolor paper.
