I am very grateful that I did indeed finish this and even more that I got right back into watercolor. This odd piece was an eighth grade art class project, a Chinese painting with authentic chinese writing. An original proverb painting would have the signature down in the corner being the red ink blot. That signature means love, because each member of the class did not know what their name looked like in Chinese. Most of the time with this kind of painting the ink would not be colored but instead black on rice paper.
Rice paper is fine grained good quality paper that absorbs the water and ink nicely.
Using a unique Chinese brush holding style I managed to make it through the painting. Ah, and as we come to my latest piece, my masterpiece, you will notice a young girl looking out of a window, overlooking flowers. Well the painting required many layers that made the painting full of different colors and shades of each of those colors. Each of the watercolor pieces require a lot of work and patience along with more than 70 different colors. On the average I think I spent at least 6 or 7 hours on each watercolor and the pastel was just about the same amount of time.
