A Taste of the Islands

What better way to beat the cold than to “Think Warm”?  In this case, I’m thinking Jamaica, mon.

I gave myself a couple of days off.  I desperately needed the break.  Tonight’s effort was not exactly a triumphant comeback (it is almost bedtime after all), but I kinda like it.

I was thinking about adding a pen-and-ink outline; but given the amount of color, I think it may actually distract.  I just wish I could get a little more contrast out of my watercolors.  I wonder how much of this has to do with using the back side of the watercolor paper (yes, I know I’m being a cheapskate!)?

Media: Cotman watercolors and B pencil.

    I think it looks great just as is. Don’t add anything more to it. Nothing wrong with conserving paper, you are being frugal and environmentally enlightened.
