Day 18. 8 x 8 in. watercolor on gesso board. © 2016 Sheila Delgado

I’m in love. With Gesso board. I have used it before. For some reason, today everything just came together. Take that back. I did have to rework the shadow. Working wet, it flowed a little too much to the right. The left shadow edge is a little too hard, but I am fine with that.

I am not sure of the flowers. Are the convincing? I see one line that scanned much too dark, I will have to go back in and soften it. Also I may need to go back on the entire left side, and deepen the background, to make the blooms stand out more. Yes?

I am however, completely pleased with the little blue pot. I thought I had fudged the shadows, but, I think they are good. Isn’t it pretty!
