I started with a quick pencil sketch and then used colored pencils to get a feel for the colors I wanted to use. Then it was time to really get froggy.
I must admit, I was intimidated by a recent gift of watercolor paints. What would I do if I messed up? You can't erase watercolor, can you? But hey, when a pretty girl gives you a set of watercolors and says, 'paint me a pretty picture,' what choice do you have?

Feeling rather confident with my initial results led me to branch out a bit. Then disaster struck. All of my worst fears were realized. Wet paint on top of wet paint created a smear that I was sure would herald the end of the world. It didn't. The world kept on moving and, I dare say, no one else even noticed that a catastrophe had been so close at hand. Imagine that.

Not only did I live to tell the tale but I even relished the experience. I even feel confident I can avoid giving the model '70's porn bush' in the future. Photoshop assist on this last image was provided by Alessandra (at least I think it was Alessandra. It was definitely one of those Plattners).
