My husband says the first one looks unfinished, but I kind of like it better. Do you really need to have every bit of the surface painted to give the vibe of a certain plant?

You don’t have to paint every leaf, but I think the first one does look a bit unfinished in this case.
Are you sketching the flowers or are they drawn for you?
Very pretty, either way.

Thank you so much!! I’m learning more about watercolor techniques and color mixing from this workbook. The designs themselves are not mine.
