Sugar Skull: Step by Step

Sometimes new projects are painful experiments in how *not* to paint. Other times, they come together surprisingly fast and end at a place I'm pleased with. I wish I knew how to make projects in group A turn into group B, but alas - that's a discussion for another day.

Today's project was thankfully in group B. I started yesterday with a vague concept in mind, just wanted to bust out my recently-neglected watercolors and make something pretty.

With those two goals in mind, I think this little painting was a success.
