Christmas Wreath 01

First Wreath of Christmas

 Watercolor and ink on cotton paper, 4x6

This was my first new work for Christmas.  I started with an ink drawing, added broad washes for the wreath and background, then the watercolor in multiple passes with increasing depth of color.  I finished the painting with a few touches of gouache to deepen the reds and add highlights.
