I have had the privilege of rethinking a watercolor -- and added a secondary blue wash the other day. This voluminous wash added a bit of depth and mystery to the whole painting. The leaves and stems needed to be muted... and the atmosphere created by the blossoms made the whole painting wet!I like it much better-- and consider it 'done' now.
I went ahead and tweaked various edges.. lifting and high lightening.. then softening some of the washes.
In the end.... the monumentality and light shine through!
