Watercolor pencils 11x16 Strathmore Cold Press 400 Series Heavy Weight
Watercolor pencils are rather difficult to control when it comes to the chroma (the green leaves). I tried to add some red and gray over the green to tone it down but it is still too intense and I fear going further would deaden it.
Still, for some reason I like this one though it is not technically where I would like to be on it. The reddish purple is not reading in the photo but it is a subtle color that I really like on the iris.
I'd like to do this in oils.
This is same paper and water color pencils.

Not a great piece ... the chroma is still not right but that is water color pencils for ya. Good practice however. Piano, egg collection, antiques, kids, art books, crystal, art, plastic bag wadded up, coffee, wine, and doing art sitting on my arse -- my life.

I like the iris... that is Rebecca's favorite flowers. It sounds like you had a good time. I can't wait to see your work...
