Where the artist did the ink first, so I decided to try that first. I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of experimenting before I'm through. You're right about fixing mistakes. You really have to have a picture of the finished painting in mind before you start. You can fix just about any mistake with acrylics.

BTW, your watercolors are amazing! Very inspiring!
