This was a garden decoration, and my mom always had great flower gardens.
I saw quite a bit of pink in the greys, and so went with the mauve-pink.
I used Super5 Frankfurt ink for the waterproof lines.
I sketched 2 fluid ink colors that would move when water touched them,
Diamine Grey ink and De Atramentis Tobacco ink.
When I hit them with water they moved across the pinkish watercolor.
Not quite what I imagined but a fun experiment.
I may try another.
