There's a good reason the watercolors stay put away for long stretches of time (although I will use them in conjunction with gouache from time to time). I just don't have the light touch and patience required for those beautiful, transparent watercolors that I admire so much. Waiting for an area to dry completely rarely happens with me so I end up with more streaks, hard edges and cauliflowers than the average bear!
Anyway, I tried------------------------

Hi Jan
Well, as a non-painter I'm not qualified to offer any technique advice but I do rather like this ... the light is wonderful and the expression fabulous.
Just because it isn't as transparent as you'd like doesn't mean it isn't good .. but I know how you feel when you don't achieve the goal you aimed for. Been there, done that!
Thanks Sue, I do think it would be better if I had just started over instead of trying to fix it!
