I start with the pinks and reds on damp paper (then quick took a photo)

then I add the yellows and greens

I didn't like how 'stiff' it looked with the colors in the lines, so I spritzed the edges of the flower with water.

The colors flowed into the background, I let the painting dry, then I lifted off the highlights.

After the painting dried, I started adding a dark background for contrast.

The background is still wet.
Day Lily  (7"x 10")
 I deepened some of the colors while trying to keep as much as the 'glow' as I could.
