water color zinnia

Had some great art buddies tonight. They are distressed because of the fireworks and on top of all that Riki is covered in hot spots! Poor baby.

Trying to lift some of the orange with salt from the top left flower. It is just too bright and want to add pink. I may use a little gouache to fix it in the end.

I start to like a painting then I compare it to other water colors on line and I realize I'm still really bad. I do see progress each time.
