Watercolor painting

This is the latest picture I painted. The photo of the painting doesn't really do the picture justice...and the little purple dot in the upper right hand corner makes it look a little sloppy. I need to find some "white-out" and get rid of that purple dot. I was opening the tube of paint when it exploded out and got paint on the picture. One thing about watercolors is that you can't really remove color. So, I'll get that fixed someday but for right now it's there and it's okay.

I painted this picture two or three weeks ago. In this painting I was using masking...which is something very rubbery that you paint onto the picture in the places you'd like to keep white and then you can paint without worrying about painting it that spot. And when everything is dry, you can rub off the masking and do something it the white spots. I used masking to make all the white dots in the purple background and also for the beads in the fairy's hair. After taking the masking off, I painted the beads, which are hard to see in this photo...but they are there.
