I was slaving over another small painting when I had enough of struggling with details. So I grabbed a sharpie, went looking for a sharp contrasted photo (found this one), and aimed for "more PASSION and less PERFECTION": a lot more fun than sweating over details.

watercolor on damp paper

I lifted off some of the highlighted flower tops and cleaned up the yellow petals where the reds ran into them.

Echinacea
I cropped the paper slightly to the image size 6 1/4" x 8 3/4"
I added some gouache to the yellow petals and the lime green in the background.
