Watercolor Sunflower ATC, revisited

Since I didn't like my watercolor sunflower and I have been liking the results of mixing Zentangle and watercolor, I thought I'd see what would happen if I did some tangling over the ATC from a few days ago.

Before: a sloppy watercolor sunflower

After: I'm still not digging it.
But I do like the background.
The inner critic is back. <sigh>

Sunflower Take 2

I thought it would be fun to see if I could recreate the Sunflower ATC from a few days ago in watercolor.  I was mistaken.  I don't know if it is because

• I spent 1/10 of the time on the watercolor
• I need more practice in watercolor
• I just prefer more detailed work

In any case, here is the watercolor version.  Not my favorite, but I'm still glad I made time to paint today.

Sunflower ATC

OK. Change of plans.  I think it makes more sense on the weekends to do a more time-intensive project instead of 2 smaller ones that I do during the week. I almost said a larger project, but this weekend's project is an ATC.  But, it is an ATC done in colored pencil, so it took almost 2 hours. Here it is.  It is definitely my favorite project of the year :-) Hope you like it.
