Description 10:30pm, technically it's not late! I'm certain the prompt was referring to a particular kind of look if you layer your watercolors correctly, but I had initially planned to take it very literal and draw a jar full of fireflies. When the time came to paint though, I was REALLY feeling a skull in a jar, and having painted a skull in a jar, I'm thrilled with how it turned out. I tried to push my contrast more, and get a bit bolder with layering colors over each other. Added the lineart after I painted because I wasn't sure if I was going to add any at all. Glad I did though, really makes it pop!

This looks really cool, the watercolor theme works really well in this!
I think it's because the water in the jar needs those layers of unpredictable splotches to get that grimy, swampy feel to it. The combinations of greens, reds, and blues definitely makes it looks old and dirty, like a witches potion or something.

Thank you so much! It's one of those things I just kept layering and layering and it came together a little bit more with each new layer I added! <3 I love the look of body parts or odd little reagents floating in a bottle of gross ichor or something similar, glad I was able to capture the theme
