Color water? Eeeeek! I'm always afraid of ruining it what if I make an accident? =\ I sucks at watercolor painting.

As for this picture. I really like it very much. It's so mysterious color. It's really very flattered to my heart. <3

Yeah, it took me awhile to understand how watercolour works. Thanks

I feel you.

Have you ever tried prismacolor pencils before?

Nope, but I use Luna pencils which does the watercolour thingie as well. It doesn't do as much as actual watercolours though.

Hmm... depends on what style you want the painting to have. With lots of detail I suggest letting the colours dry between each application. For a more messy but unpredictable painting (like this one) wet the paper and let the colours mesh into each other. Try looking for some watercolour tutorials posted on devart. They are really really good. May I suggest looking at this one? [link] It's not on flowers but it sure helps!
